I have seen several OS/2 users using/switching to FreeBSD (I am one
of them).
I can understand why (lack of IBM marketting), but I wonder how this
migration compares to other OS. Does anyone has any guess on
percentage of people coming to FreeBSD from other OS? (notice I said
guess. I don't think it is possible to come up with any real numbers
).

The one thing that I don't know if there is something as good in
FreeBSD as in OS/2 are email software. I use PmMail and soon  to get
PMInews. From what I have heard the other email software for OS/2 are
algo great.
