In the hopes that they will prove useful, I've run the ratios based on some data we have here. I'd imagine it will tend to reflect the percentage distribution of ISPs, but ISP is losely defined to also include universities... In a random same of users of a certain product, here are the breakdowns for the intel OSes, vs the total: Platform % *BSDi 3.3 FreeBSD 2.3 Linux 5.0 SCO 2.3 *+SYSV 0.8 *Solaris 1.3 Other 85.0 * Intel based only. + Unixware Which is what you'd expect knowing that many ISPs use SunOS, Solaris, Digital Unix, AIIX, Ultrix, IRIX, or HPUX. Those Oses should cover a lot of ground.... So it looks like the Intel market has about a 15% market share of the ISPs and that Linux and *BSD are running neck and neck at about 5% or 6% each, with SCO taking up a little less than 1/2 of the rest.
