When the project first started, it was dominated by linux clients with few others, but currently there are a lot more diverse participants, and the average uptimes are dominated by NetBSD, FreeBSD, and BSDi in that order (although BSDi only has 2 participants. FreeBSD has 93, and NetBSD 32, so those two are reasonably statistical). Nr. of hosts registered per OS Linux 455 FreeBSD 93 Windows NT 62 Windows 98 57 NetBSD 32 Other 25 Windows 95 22 Solaris 17 Multiple 13 Novell 8 OpenBSD 7 Windows 2000 5 BeOS 4 BSDi 2 Uptimes per OS (avg, max) NetBSD 161 days, 04:43m 1197 days, 16:22m FreeBSD 133 days, 22:09m 716 days, 04:48m BSDi 111 days, 23:10m 217 days, 19:19m Other 84 days, 17:33m 760 days, 06:06m Linux 67 days, 09:08m 870 days, 14:06m Novell 58 days, 10:18m 342 days, 02:39m Solaris 48 days, 19:10m 149 days, 20:37m OpenBSD 31 days, 17:19m 93 days, 17:19m Windows 2000 10 days, 02:39m 20 days, 21:44m Windows NT 9 days, 21:42m 49 days, 17:02m It would be useful to display the standard deviation of the data as well as the mean - I'm looking for a contact address to suggest that. Of course, these stats aren't entirely useful because they're opt-in, but it certainly lends weight to what we've always known about BSDs being rock-stable systems. I wonder if someone should submit an article to slashdot hilighting this? Kris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
