I suspect some truly new people to FreeBSD might also search for "free bsd" (sans quotes). Although that may not really matter. But I don't think Google Trends is a useful measurement for anything. It would not surprise me if FreeBSD's popularity has decreased in favour of Mac OS X, for example. But I don't know how you'd measure that. I suppose you would just need to ask individual people. Not rely on data mining. > Since I think that the > FreeBSD Site is the best designed homepage for any resource of > information for this distribution on comparing other Distribution sites, > why should I use Google when I even know that I will land on the Site > again? True. Or if you've installed it, /usr/share/doc/handbook/, etc.
