Hello Everyone,
For the BSD Certification Group business plan we are considering another (much smaller!) survey to focus on BSD system usage. There don't seem to be any readily available, current market studies about BSD systems. So we are developing one of our own to help determine how BSD systems are used. (If you know of such as study, please share. We have the 2004 Netcraft material and other material noted in the project blog: bsdcg.blogspot.com). Below are the questions we are considering. This is NOT the real survey, just a list we are developing right now. The survey will be finalized in the next few days. Please read and share your comments on the list. Thanks and Best Regards, Jim B. ====================================================================== Please indicate which BSD systems are in use at your business or organization: [checkbox] FreeBSD OpenBSD NetBSD DragonFly BSD Other BSD: [text] Approximately how many BSD systems is your business or organization using?
