FreeBSD user statistics

2007-07-31 Thread Chad Perrin
Are there any projects out there collecting data on numbers of FreeBSD
users?  I'm interested in pretty much anything along those lines,
including analogs to Fedora's "smolt" reporting software, the Linux
Counter , and so on.

If not . . . is there any sense that such a project would be useful to
the community?  I might consider getting at least a web-based
self-reporting thing like the Linux Counter project set up, if that seems
like something the community would want/need and doesn't already exist.

What I'm really looking for, though, is any existing efforts to count
FreeBSD users, even if such efforts are prone to error.

Hi Chad,

Checkout www.bsdstats.org. A very cool project to start tracking BSD usage. 
Also, we've placed Google Analytics on www.pcbsd.org (and we should probably 
add it to freebsd.org, too) and have interesting operating system stats from 
there that we'll make public after a substantial amount of data is gathered.

best,
-matt

So Australia has the highest number of BSD installations, that's quite
surprising!

Hi Chad,

That would be BSDstats:

http://www.bsdstats.org/
http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bsdstats/

Ahh, I see... so there are currently no way to see all time?

Stil very surprising though, when it comes to technology Australia
just never make it to the top in any statistics, people are always
like "WTF?" when I talk about BSD, till the minute I go and say it is
like Linux. Maybe it is just me though...
