I just took at look at the SETI@HOME results for Operating Systems.
The highest FreeBSD entry is number 22 which is for FreeBSD 3.2 with
237731 packets.
However I realised that if you add up all of the different versions of
FreeBSD you get a result of 791878 packets which would put us in 15th
position.
The Windows people have it over us because they haven't had an operating
system update in a few years. The Linux crowd has got wise and called
their version "linux-gnu", note the absence of a version number. What we
need to do is to petition SETI to use "freebsd-elf" or "freebsd-aout".
Otherwise we will be starting from 0 packets when the next SETI client
comes out compiled for version 3.4.
Cheers.
