Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Over the past couple of days, I've been trying to come up with some reasonably unbiased numbers concerning distribution of operating systems on the Internet...the numbers are depressing so far: Operating System Summary OS # of Hosts % of Hosts Windows 37929 74.94 Linux 4750 9.39 Macintosh 2044 4.04 SunOS 1691 3.34 FreeBSD 336 0.66 Granted, the sample size is still only ~50,000 hosts, but the %ages stay pretty consistant as most hosts come on line...are we *really* that far behind? Full results can be seen at http://www.hub.org/OS_Survey, and just by hitting that page, you add to the results... Marc G.
