Although it doesn't state FreeBSD, I understand that Yahoo! runs stuff
on FreeBSD.

I'n not sure I agree with that. The author stated "But in December,
Yahoo started to port ... to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0" That would
suggest that Yahoo! is moving to Linux.

I am very interested in this as I have for several years used the
argument "we use the same OS as Yahoo!". We're not going to migrate to
Linux if Yahoo! does.
