Or maybe the FreeBSD users in Korea use their systems for real work  
and don't read this list or play these sorts of games...  The Open/ 
Net/DFly users are hobbyists who like to play these games.

I am not knocking the bsdstats effort -- just that lots of serious  
users with machines in production won't report back (I know I am  
not).  Your sample is probably statistically invalid.

best regards
