ftp.cdrom.com carries a lot more than FreeBSD and Linux stuff.  It also 
has a number of Windows and DOS archives.  Why would the statistics
for ftp.cdrom.com be posted to freebsd-hackers, which is a mailing list
for developers in FreeBSD.  The concept I am having a difficult time
grasping is the one where ftp.cdrom.com == FreeBSD, since ftp.cdrom.com
has much more material on it than just FreeBSD.

Thank you for the pointers to the statistics.  I will check them
out when I have time.

Take care,
