Growth of Operating Systems This chart depicts the growth of various operating systems from 1996 to 1997. The data represents the percentage growth in the number of large enterprises who are using the various operating systems. Most studies have focused on the total number of Linux installations and show that Linux has more than doubled in the past year. The Datapro study takes a different approach and reveals that the total number of enterprises using Linux has increased by 27%! [``BSD'', according to this chart, suffered an about 60% decrease in growth from 96 to 97.] -jack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
