Where did you see that WhatsApp is converting to Linux? At MeetBSD Rick Reed claimed they had full autonomy from Facebook on that kind of thing (http://www.slideshare.net/iXsystems/rick-reed-600-m-unsuspec...), and FB was looking at them to learn how they did so much with so little engineers and servers.
Netflix is doing 100Gbit HTTP and > 60Gbit HTTPS on a single socket Xeon E5 with FreeBSD. These servers are about 1/3 North American Internet by volume. In comparison to OCA team their AWS team sounds like a total tire fire to me in terms of engineer count and monthly spend.
I run the OS team at Limelight Networks, one of the largest CDNs. We can peak beyond 10Tbit/s on our current network and have to deal with a more demanding/unknown workload compared to NF OCA. This is all courtesy of FreeBSD. My entire management chain agrees that the cost of entry is lower to influencing and driving development in FreeBSD vs other kernels, and we collaborate with the other well known players on projects that are mutually beneficial such as TCP and filesystems.

HOWTO – Install FreeBSD 10.3 on Vmware Workstation 12 Pro If you ever come across a scenario where you are in need of a FreeBSD machine to tinker a bit with, look no further but come and join me in my quick tutorial to set one up on the fly.
FreeBSD 10.3 FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop, and embedded computer platforms. If you would like to purchase or download a copy to try out, more information. 'The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE. This is the third release of the stable/10 branch, which improves on the stability of FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE and introduces some new features.
Companies switching from FreeBSD to Linux usually are victim of the decision from bad VP-level management looking for a scapegoat rather than solving actual business and culture problems. Yahoo began transitioning to RHEL in 2005 and AFAIK are still at least two years from conceivably being off of FreeBSD. A 12 year _free_ OS transition is an embarrassing use of engineering effort and total management failure.

There are a lot of companies satisfied with FreeBSD, especially in the appliance space and small business, but they are not vocal because it just works and is often rebranded.

The Perfect Database Server: Firebird 2.5.3 And FreeBSD 10
Here is the guide on installing Firebird 2.5.3 from FreeBSD 10 Ports and creating your first test database; also we show you how to install Flamerobin GUI (administration tool) and the PHP driver for it. This was tested on fresh FreeBSD 10 on a kvm-linux virtual machine.
Download a compressed snapshot of the Ports Collection into /var/db/portsnap.
portsnap fetch
Or update it. If you are running Portsnap for the first time, extract the snapshot into /usr/ports:
portsnap extract
If you already have a populated /usr/ports directory and you are just updating, run the following command instead:
portsnap update
Enter firebird server ports directory:
cd /usr/ports/databases/firebird25-server
Compile and install firebird server:
make -DPACKAGE_BUILDING
make install
make install
Enable it by adding
in /etc/rc.conf.
Start it with:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/firebird start
logs and security2.fdb seems to be in /var/db/firebird.
/usr/local/bin/isql-fb
To create a new database:
SQL> create database 'tmp/first_database.fdb';
SQL> connect '/tmp/first_database.fdb' ;
SQL> connect '/tmp/first_database.fdb' ;
Commit current transaction (y/n)? <-- y
Committing.
Database: '/tmp/first_database.fdb'
SQL>
Committing.
Database: '/tmp/first_database.fdb'
SQL>
If you want to create a simple table then insert 1-2 rows and select from it; here is one example:
SQL> CREATE TABLE TEST (ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, NAME VARCHAR(20));
SQL> show tables;
SQL> show tables;
TEST
SQL> INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (1, 'John');
SQL> INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (2, 'Joe');
SQL> select * from test;
ID NAME
1 John
2 Joe
SQL> INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (1, 'John');
SQL> INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (2, 'Joe');
SQL> select * from test;
ID NAME
1 John
2 Joe
To quit the isql-fb console, type quit:
SQL> quit
CON>;
CON>;
For a good open source GUI admin tool you might check the flamerobin administration tool included in ports repository; it can be installed by a simple:
cd /usr/ports/databases/flamerobin/ && make install clean
Or if you don't want to wait use pkg-add
pkg-add -r flamerobin
To use firebird with php, you will need the php5 driver:
cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-interbase/ && make install clean
You can choose to compile php with apache support (I have chosen cli, cgi , and apache support); check it if is enabled with:
Download Freebsd 12
/usr/local/bin/php -m
Freebsd 10.3 Download For Computer
Or if you don't want to wait compile all the php use pkg-add
Download Freebsd Iso
pkg-add -r php5-interbase
