(For technical reasons, I needed the name to be one word - otherwise it would have been "Free BSD") The generally accepted "catch all" term is *BSD. Oh, and by the way - the first 2 users have registered now. One from Ireland and one from Japan. There's someone else in Ireland running *BSD? I hope you're keeping records - I'd like to send him some mail, we probably live right next door! :-) Also, it's a real pity this count won't, for most practical purposes, segregate the FreeBSD (that is to say, the real one! :-), NetBSD and 386BSD statistics. We're going to end up with a rough count, yes, but we won't know who's who! Jordan -- (Jordan K.
