My first paid-hosting was Yahoo! Hosting. It was a little more expensive than other hosting companies but I got my Website hosted on speedy Unix-based servers (FreeBSD) and great technical support. Now Yahoo! has good deals on both hosting and email. For more info about Yahoo!'s promotions visit http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1574997-10294264
I have also used some other paid-hosting company services (WebHostXL) and... but oh man! Many free services were a lot faster than that! I paid in advance for one year but I switched hosts after contacting them several times. I got few responses. There was almost no technical support there. Eventually they moved my Website and email to another "faster" server but still no luck. They happened to be a reseller of several hosting companies services. It was very cheap until a few months later they raised their prices. So be careful when choosing a hosting company!

As far as I know Apple has never contributed a single line of code to Linux; I would say that it's good to see Apple improvements making their way into FreeBSD and KDE.:)
Since the arrival of Mac OS X, BSD has become the biggest desktop UNIX variant on the planet.Yes, even bigger than Linux.

If you take Linux as a unique movement, then it is bigger than FreeBSD, but if you take each distribution (per Netcraft's Linux OS detection statistics), then FreeBSD has more users than Red Hat.

Having an x86 and FreeBSD why I would run something different on my servers?
Porting Mac OS X to the x86 would remove the hardware integration factor and would make Mac OS X less attractive (at least for me).
I have ran into problems a few times when there were conflicting packages (eg: stuff that goes into the same place).
It seems you want to be on the bleeding edge. For that, I recommend you upgrading the whole OS to either the -STABLE or -CURRENT branches (not meant to be used in a production system). Once you have upgraded your system, you will notice that there are up-to-date packages all the time.
When a new FreeBSD RELEASE is about to be released (eg: FreeBSD 5.3 as of this writing), release engineers freeze the ports to ensure that all of them compile properly (there are more than 10,000) and they make packages for that specific release. If you upgrade to a new FreeBSD release just after is out, just do a portupgrade -aPP to have all your stuff up-to-date via packages.
If you run into trouble while trying to install any app, read any README (if available), cvsup later and see if that problem is gone. Sometimes, doing a recursive (-R) upgrade fixes that kind of problems.
Compiling means that there are more possibilities of having something else not compiling because you compiled another port with or without an option, so compile with care!
First of all, calm down, relax! We all know Linux is your religion, but please calm down, and don't say anything about something you don't know. Well, FreeBSD is a very popular platform (especially on the server side). It is not dying. It's not a religion, there's no hype around it, etc. Let me tell you that some months ago I installed the latest STABLE release of FreeBSD (4.10 as of this writing) on a 486 PC (100MHz,48MB RAM, 1GB HDD,etc) and it the install was painless (a few minutes) and runs very fast (it boots up in about 1 minute). Currently, it's a Web/Mail/FTP server. It does the job. I have also tried to install Slackware Linux 9.1 and it took me a half day doing it. Slack is known for being speedy, but, despide that, it booted very very slowly (minutes). It would be impossible to install, let's say Fedora Core 2, on that machine (if I ever wanted to). Almost all Linux distroes are really bloated and are hardware-hungry today. They should all learn from FreeBSD (well, at least in this aspect). I have 4 OSes installed on my (desktop) computer, and FreeBSD is the fastest.
Yahoo! Mail was the first to upgrade their service following Gmail's storage boost.
If you send email messages to some Hotmail address, they bounce them back to you with no aparent reasons. And don't say that you haven't had some email message bounced back saying "action failed". As I don't save all my email messages, many proofs are gone. I remember once that I wrote about 10 email messages to a Hotmail.com user and he only got one. In my last message I was asking if he had a non-Hotmail account. I don't know why, but this message wasn't bounced back. He told me that his Hotmail inbox was empty.
Anyway, here's one proof:
She has told me that her Hotmail email account is active, is not the wrong one, and her mailbox is not full nor empty. I have tried to contact her via email several times with no success.

1. They will only give you more space if two (or more) competitors give you at least 50 times more MB. (Y!Mail: 100MB, MSN Hotmail: 2MB)
2. If someone tries to send you an email from a non-Hotmail, 99% of his or her email messages are bounced back with reason "action failed".
3. From time to time, they will put JavaScript code in MSN's Website so non-IE browsers (such as Opera) can't access MSN.com. They will do it in a way that it appears that Opera (or other browsers) suck.

Voila, you should be running 5.4-RELEASE at this point
It's worth upgrading to 5.4-RELEASE -- LINUX: Linux Is Not UniX

I agree; Nvidia's drivers are good. In fact, I'm currently using one under FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE and it works like a charm. :)

... I forgot something! You probably guessed it but I'm writing it for those who didn't guess it...
MSN Hotmail... poor service, strings attached (most of them hidden) (Windows)
Yes, Yahoo! has upgraded their service in other countries. At least in Europe.
Yahoo! Mail... no strings attached, good service (FreeBSD)
Gmail... strings attached (some of them are not hidden), too much noise (a Linux distro)
MSN Hotmail... poor service, strings attached (most of them hidden)
Facts about MSN Hotmail
1. They will only give you more space if two (or more) competitors give you at least 50 times more MB. (Y!Mail: 100MB, MSN Hotmail: 2MB)
2. If someone tries to send you an email from a non-Hotmail, 99% of his or her email messages are bounced back with reason "action failed".
3. From time to time, they will put JavaScript code in MSN's Website so non-IE browsers (such as Opera) can't access MSN.com. They will do it in a way that it appears that Opera (or other browsers) suck.
Now they can focus more on i386, amd64 and ia64.
And yes... 85% of sms spam will come from infected windows cellphones.
