Reported hosts for China and India are following the same pattern. About equal numbers of Open/Net/DFly and very few Free.

Re: FreeBSD not popular in Asia?
That makes me kind angry too but many other failed to show the "big corps" what the bsd* OSs worth. Macromedia know about freebsd, the linux dev coordinator posts about freebsd in his product blog but they don't care.. they know that having a linux driver is enough to have a good reputation in the OSS world. There is a 2.5Ksignatures petition regarding flash, there are 2.5M hits with "freebsd macromedia" search string in google, they have like hundres of *bsd messages in the wish forms... what else can be shown to proove that we exist? Nothing... they just don't care.. unless the whole OSS comunity speaks.. there isn't much we can do. Anyway, I've added some boxes to the bsdstats project.

Only thing that the figures say is that they are far from being accurate. And that people should be reminded to register from time to time.

This is a long shot, but couldn't it just be that a portal or usergroup of some kind started promoting bsdstats? Lets say a BSD usergroup in Thailand posted a notice on the first page about bsdstats. The usergroup has 200 visitors a day and half of them decides to follow the advice and install bsdstats. That would explain the sudden burst of 100 machines. Another plausible explanation is that an administrator of some network with 100 or so workstations or servers decided to push out bsdstats as a nightly upgrade or similar. It does not seem totally impossible to me, alltough I would not base any major decision on those figures without checking them first. -- R ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
