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.
