What page are you looking at?  www.bsdstats.org shows 2868 FreeBSD machines =

and 1379 OpenBSD machines.  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.
