Realistically, Disney, or whomever competition, is not going to have enough technical expertise to deploy FreeBSD.

The BSD logo was created by one of Pixar's founders[1], and Disney now owns Pixar. Disney also has money. I'm sure deploying FreeBSD is well within their reach.

... You don't think Disney, a company with a revenue of roughly 60 billion dollars, can hire people with enough technical expertise to deploy FreeBSD?

I trained the entire Disney offshore replacement team. They understand FreeBSD very well.

Out of curiosity, does this mean that they’re using (or have used) FreeBSD in their infrastructure or for some other purpose, or just a high level of Unix competence in that team? Any interesting details that you’re able to share?
