Where is the link to that URL? I didn't find it anywhere. > which tally up to the totals for FreeBSD listed on the main page. > I find the number of 2.x systems a little puzzling though. Well, I also have 2.2-stable installed on an old notebook that wouldn't reasonably run any newer version (it has 4 MB RAM and 120 MB disk, no network, no X). However, the number for 2.x systems seems a bit high indeed. I think the users who still run 2.x systems tend to tune them manually and watch the lists closely for things that need to be patched. Therefore they might have a better chance to know about the bsdstats script than people who just install a release. The statistics are certainly skewed by the fact that the bsdstats script isn't integrated into the standard installation, like other BSD projects did meanwhile. And the numbers are much too low to have much of a statistical value so far. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
