(NOTE: Linux is NOT BSD-derived. If you use that, send mail to linux-counter@uninett.no instead!!!) The information is *not* used for any purpose but statistics, and unless you request it, information about single persons are *never* made public. (A list of users who have requested publication is available from the FTP file ftp://aun.uninett.no/pub/misc/386bsd/persons) How to register =============== Send E-mail to bsd-counter@uninett.no The subject should be I use <version> at <place> where "version" can be NetBSD, 386BSD and FreeBSD; "place" can be school, work or home. You will get back a letter with 3 things: - An acknowledgement - A form that you can fill out and send in with more information about yourself, your machine, and your 386bsd-using friends - A report giving the current status of the counter You can update your "vote" at any time, by sending an E-mail message from the same account. Duplicates will be weeded out. The current report, available by anonymous FTP to aun.uninett.no, directory pub/misc/386bsd-counter, file "short", is given below.
