You won't get more than a tiny percentage of hosts that way; I believe most of us, even those on this list (which is nowhere close to the total user base), don't care to be listed. My shop runs 30+ FreeBSD hosts, and I have several more for personal use. But of those there are maybe 2-3 that I would be ok with listing and exactly zero that I will actually list. It's not that I don't want to help, but I'm not going to run a process like that on a production server. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--
