Yahoo! moving to Linux???
Sorry, maybe I missed something .. When entering http://www.yahoo.de I find my request redirected to http://m.de.yahoo.com for some days now. Netcraft says: http://m.de.yahoo.com was running YTS on Linux when last queried at 19-Dec-2009 19:12:25 GMT - refresh now Site Report Hard to stand, I'd expect FreeBSD get replaced by Windows because of MS/Yahoo! agreement, but Linux?? Does anybody know about that?

Its possible the frontend loadbalancer/L4 switch is an A10 at Yahoo!, and the A10 signature should resemble embedded GNU/Linux. Or does it go by server version string? ~BAS ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Does anybody know about that? Although Yahoo has been, and still is, a big FreeBSD user, their business has grown by absorbing many other web sites. Those are hosted on all sorts of different platforms. I don't think you can really state that Yahoo is based on operating system foo any more (for any foo) -- nor can you tell necessarily from the OS of the web front-end what the back-end application servers are running. Whether Yahoo wants to spend a great deal of time and money homogenizing the OSes their servers run on is an interesting question. I doubt it somehow: the benefits of simplified administration almost certainly don't outweigh the costs or justify the risks of service disruption.
