No, they don't run FreeBSD. They were interested in having someone
like me or the dozen of other FreeBSD kernel developers to turn to
for help as well as the superior debugging features of FreeBSD,
that's why I did the setup for them.
However in the end they chose to stay with Linux, I don't think
much actual evaluation was really done, basically one day someone
needed that rack running linnex so they spammed over it.
It was fun, but we missed.
