BSDstats Statistics for Aug, 2007 ...


Although I should send this out more often then I do, last month was a 
particularly good month, with *everyone* except for NetBSD going up in numbers 
...

First off all, for those that aren't aware:

"The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and 
marketing of the *BSD operating systems."

Through interaction with several system administrators out there, from a 
security / anonymity perspective, we have tried to design things such that we 
save nothing in the database that could be used to compromise  your servers ... 
no hostname, no IP ...

The stats  have also been designed to allow for multiple reporting by the same 
host each month (ie. rebooting your desktop), so it doesn't have to be run just 
on the first of the month.

The web site, although it looks good, is incomplete at this time ... Anthony, 
our 'webmaster' has been a wee bit pre-occupied the past little while, but 
hopes to be able to dive back in again by the end of the month, and clean up 
some of the reports.

To date, we have the following *BSD "distributions" reporting in:

            DesktopBSD
            DragonFly
            FreeBSD
            GNU/kFreeBSD

I hope the numbers are not this bad that my machine alone made your 
numbers jump his much.

My FreeBSD was offline for a year.

It was a hard time.
