As a result of using HAProxy to load balance and help ensure uptime for reporting clients, someone recently reported that although their sent in their report, their country wasn't going up in the 'Countries' states. This bug has been fixed (HAProxy was reporting Proxy IP vs Client IP) and we reset the stats period to 1st of May, causing a sharp drop in #s that has slowly been climbing back up again. The result of the change is that now Panama isn't the largest distribution of PC-BSD anymore, but the USofA is back in that lead, with Russia quickly following. Stats Summary: As of May 13th, 2010 (based on reporting ~2 weeks of reporting period since fix) , the project has 3 733 hosts that have reported in, broken down as follows: PC-BSD 2 357 hosts FreeBSD 1 243 hosts DesktopBSD 78 hosts NetBSD 34 hosts OpenBSD 12 hosts DragonFly 9 hosts MirBSD 0 hosts MidnightBSD 0 hosts GNU/kFreeBSD 0 hosts We currently have hosts being reported in from 88 countries, with the top 10 being: United States 752 Panama 332 Russian Federation 332 Australia 271 Germany 204 Ukraine 173 Japan 121 Canada 101 Brazil 89 United Kingdom 89 Project URL: http://www.bsdstats.org Project Objective: "The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and marketing of the *BSD operating systems." PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled, while the rest have to be enabled manually. For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set things up. There is now a man page / document that has been created, that contains a full description of the project, as well as the steps we take to ensure the anonymity of those reporting while maintaining the individuality of the reporting machines. This can be found at: http://www.bsdstats.org/bsdstats-8.html Project Uptime: In the beginning, there were issues with accessibility of the servers, due to only having one reporting server. We have since moved to a distributed cluster using HAProxy to load balance between two physical servers, with a third one coming online soon. http://www.bsdstats.org isn't running on this new cluster yet, but work is underway to get that moved over as well, which we hope to have accomplished over the next couple of days.
