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)?
Neither ... the month that the report was submitted for has one entry for
host ... we'll be able to graph stuff like growht in # of reporting hosts
and such ...
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).
The 'plus some gadgets on top' is, IMHO, important ... it shows ppl are
adopting BSD, but that, for them, those 'gadgets' are important for the
deployment ...
