No respectable company runs FreeBSD? How about Yahoo,
www.yahoo.com? Not respectable enough? -g- Then how about Microsoft hotmail, www.hotmail.com, or Sony, www.sony.co.jp?

The most respectable companies that run linux-based web servers are www.dejanews.com, www.etoys.com, www.realnetworks.com, or even the British Royal Family www.royal.gov.uk

You can find this out here: www.netcraft.com

Linux binaries can be executed on FreeBSD.

I'm not biased - we use linux & php for less important data collection web server. It does not matter if it crashes. But our main server runs FreeBSD. It just outperforms linux. Linux is a bit dangerous too - for novices - the easy installation can leave the system with a lot of security holes.
