I've waded in the Slashdot cesspool before, and I'd rather not do that again. FreeBSD continues to grow at exponential rates. I've seen a variety of figures that show this, not the least of which is cdrom sales numbers. I don't have any evidence to the contrary. Furthermore, download stats for Linux and FreeBSD on wcarchive have both been increasing rapidly, but the recent trend has been that FreeBSD is outpacing Linux. I think this is a valid statistic because wcarchive is the master site for Slackware Linux, and based on stats that people provided for Red Hat 5.1, is also the highest traffic mirror site for Red Hat (more copies of Red Hat are downloaded from wcarchive than from redhat.com plus all of the other mirrors of Red Hat combined). -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
