CDROM-Artwork

Hello,

I designed some CDROM-Artwork for FreeBSD.

Thumbnails are here:

The SVG-"source" is here:

(304K, made with Inkscape 0.43 under Ubuntu-GNU/Linux 6.06)

LEGAL:
The logo is (of course) by Anton Gural.
The text is stolen from the FreeBSD-website.
The remaining artwork is by me. I hereby donate my part of the artwork 
to the FreeBSD project, so you may use and distribute it under any 
license you may choose, e.g. under the BSD-license (you may even place 
it in the Public Domain).

I am courious about your feedback!

'k, I'd be interested in knowing exactly what problems they had ... was it 
hardware, or ease of install?

BSDstats: August Statistics


Antony has been working on the web site itself (http://www.bsdstats.org) to 
make it look good, but the stats pages still need work ... but, like everyone, 
"business and family come first" ...

I'm going to work on writing up a 'general report', and, of course, we will 
have 'previous stats' available on the web site, but here is how August looked 
over all ...

September is already looking better, with 1064 hosts already reporting in ...

Hosts reporting in August: 957

Top 5 Countries:

  Germany              |   142
  United States        |   137
  Russian Federation   |   119
  Ukraine              |   106
  Australia            |    48

Architectures Reporting in:

  i386         |   867
  amd64        |    75
  sparc64      |     7
  alpha        |     6
  powerpc      |     1
  ia64         |     1

CDROM-Artwork (2)

Hello again,

yesterday I posted some CDROM-artwork for FreeBSD (see old e-mail below).

Since I received positive feedback, here are some improvements:

I created seperate CDROM-sleeves and CDROM-labels for some of the 
architectures, and made seperate labels for Disc 1 and Disc 2 (but they 
share the same sleeve).

Here are small previews (thumbnails) at 75dpi:

my difficulty installing freebsd was after starting the installation and
then  learning freebsd must be installed in a primary partition.  with
very large disk drives i have many more than four partitions. modern
linux distributions may be installed in any primary OR extended
partition..     the grub  loader can now  begin the bootload from any
partion.  i do not understand if there is a reason for restricting
installation of freebsd to a primary partition. to me, this restriction
is a big negative point against freebsd.

FreeBSD not popular in Asia?


Check out http://www.bsdstats.org ... Republic of Korea is about to push 
the US out of first place, but there are *zero* FreeBSD boxes reporting 
from there ... DragonFly is first, then NetBSD and then OpenBSD ...

Are there *really* no Korean FreeBSD hosts out there ... ?

I think someone is playing games. I saw Korea put up 40 plus boxen in
under 10 mins.  And between Net, Open and DF, there are only a few...

245 of the Korean hits came from the same IP, which would be within the 
realm of a NATd box ... and, looking at the logs, each system is reporting 
how/as I'd expect it ...

It could be one of the schools in Korea?

As I said, looking at the data itself, if it is someone playing games, 
they've gone to alot of effort to "mask" it ... including mix-n-matching 
Operating Systems with Architectures, so that they aren't all reporting 
the exact same thing ... even the user agents are coming through "as 
expected" for each of hte operating systems reported ...
