Yes, TurboLinux is popular in Japan but I am not sure if it is #1. 
Because turbolinux has highest retail sales, it does not mean that they 
are all being installed and used. I have some linux cds that are being 
used quite nicely on my tea table :)

What A BULL**** .... I have been here for less than 3 months and I have
seen plenty stuff about FreeBSD from books to Cds. However, I did notice
that 
there are more stuff Linux than FreeBSD. Even on hardwares, it mentions
"TurboLinux ready" but not "FreeBSD ready".
