Ahhh, yet another childish attempt at a personal attack by a *BSD advocate. Lazy, am I? Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that the statistics were posted to freebsd-hackers, since I don't read that mailing list. I will, however, look up the numbers you refered to. Thank you for your input, even if it was meant as a flame. *sigh* Let me repeat this again: It was not lazyness, but the fact that I didn't know the numbers were sent to an obscure mailing list. After all, the FTP statistics for ftp.cdrom.com apply more than just to FreeBSD. >You could also estimate the number of BSD users by the number of >different users that posted to netnews :-). I was thinking about that. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a news server. I would have to do all the accesses via NNTP, which would be really slow. :( Take care, -- Nick Kralevich nickkral@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu
