"In many ways the virtues that have brought Linux from a Unix look alike pet project to a competitive operating system are the same as the ideals behind DefCon. The community stood on each other's shoulders and developed piece after piece of software to fill in the gaps that were found through use. Programmer's built on the ideas of others creating tighter and tighter code to support an increasingly complex framework."

As you can see [...], BSD absolutely dominates the uptime list.
And please note another "niche market" UNIX OS that nobody* knows anymore: IRIX. And BSD/OS, derived from the 4.4BSD Lite, just as FreeBSD.
*) "Nobody" refers to the vast majority both of computer users and oh joy oh market share analysts. :-)

As you can see here http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html, BSD absolutely dominates the uptime list. I think it still does have great impact on server market and I love to use FreeBSD for my servers 
Not to Dis BSD however Uptimes like that are not normal or recommended. As well Uptimes doesn't even explain the load or actual function. as well people could in theory hack the information to give the impression it was still up and the same server even as they replace them and swap them in and out. Those guys seem to be focused on keeping that system up and running as long as humanly possible. Chances are if it goes down it will never come back up (drives may have died a year ago and still running off the paging)
