Actually, I 99% sure that at least 7 of the top 9 are SPARC/Solaris boxes (the only ones I am not sure of are syr.edu and clark.net. No 10 (feed1.news.erols.com) is a x86 running Linux :-/ The first FreeBSD box I know of is newsfeeds.sol.net at 24. I can identify at least 4 or 5 others though. I'm sure Joe could highlight more that I don't know of :-) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info
