I'm not against putting something like this in the FreeBSD 'zine,
however, I doubt it'll make it into the upcoming issue.  Perhaps the
July issue.  I've been working on a poll script that I planned on
using for various stuff, so that won't be a problem.

However.. I've noticed alot of people don't bother to vote (if that's
what you'd call it) so I doubt the results would be very accurate.
Not to mention the number of visitors compared to the actual amount of
users.  Personally I don't think the poll will produce any usable
results.  Comments?
