By the way, I've got a small question. Does the database throw all entries away at the end of each month, and start all over again with zero entries? Or is each entry expired after a certain time has elapsed (31 days or whatever)? I just noticed that "PC-BSD" is mentioned as separate OS in the statistics now. I think it would be better to count it for FreeBSD instead, because PC-BSD (similar to FreeSBIE) is just a standard FreeBSD kernel + userland, plus some gadgets on top (GUI installer or live FS, respectively). In fact, I think that mentioning too many different BSD variants is counter-productive against the goals of the project. The main goal is to provide numbers to vendors and manufacturers, in order to get better support. However, mentioning a dozen different BSD variants will likely turn them away. Therefore I propose that only the "big four" are mentioned explicitely on the homepage, and all the rest be counted as "others" or similar. Just my 2 Euro cents.
