Hi, My question is awfully simple and complicated also: I wonder if anyone in this world collected/tryed to collect statistics on the world usage of various platforms in networking applications, like, providing internet services (www/ftp/dns/dhcp/<insert here>)? Without any doubt I'd mention, that we're willing to consider *BSD (open, net, free, BSD/OS) to be one united field of calculations. Seems like I have to explain the situation: as it always happening in pretty huge ISP on the market, we have two 'technological' platforms, Suns and *BSD. And as it's always happening, there's confrontation starting between those admins of above mentioned platforms, say, for funding, after several years of successful work on both types of servers/OS's (we're 8 years on the market of Russian ISP already). We are interested to gather (start ourselves) analysis on the topic of _comparison_ (er, how is it spelled? ;-)) on frequency of the usage of different OS's/platforms on highly loaded servers, like innd/nntp, httpd, ftpd, named and other data terminals, like shell access machines... Thanks, -mishania
