The above stats are the # of hosts that have reported in so far this month ...
we get about 40% or so that report in on the 1st of each month, and the rest
report in through the month to the end ...
If you look at:
<http://bsdstats.org/os_report.php>;
You can see what the totals were like at the end of last month, as well as how
things compare against this month so far ...
We hope to have some trends graphs put up on the site shortly, to show a better
idea of month-to-month ...
