Only in the US is OpenBSD "ahead" of FreeBSD.=20 So I suppose you could say that OpenBSD admins *within* the US have=20 embraced the project more willingly than FreeBSD admins or OpenBSD is more=20 widely used *within* the US. But I doubt any of this is meaningful. It=20 won't be until we get a great deal more systems reporting. 5097 systems=20 worldwide must be less than 1% of the total systems in use worldwide, I=20 would think.
