Linux:226 Macintosh OSX:206 Macintosh Classic:47 Since its just a HTML help site its pretty non OS specific so I'd guess that the stats are pretty representative. as you can see, linux is higher then either OSX or classing alone, but together they are ahead of linux. for the last few months it has been back and forth like this,, some months linux tops both classic and OSX together. I do have a guy in a mac that visits once or twice a week that may have squed the results towards the macs alittle though. Its good that they are on a par though.. excellent for linux I'd say. I'm in the process of turning a Mac OSX user into a Linux user. I must say...he's quite excited. Too bad the newest ppc version is only 9.1, a release which I never got the chance to use. --Marc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
