       <para>In the open source world, the word <quote>Linux</quote> is almost
 	synonymous with <quote>Operating System</quote>, but it is not the only
-	open source &unix; operating system.  According
-	to the <link xlink:href="http://www.leb.net/hzo/ioscount/data/r.9904.txt">Internet
-	  Operating System Counter</link>, as of April 1999 31.3% of the
-	world's network connected machines run Linux.  14.6% run BSD &unix;.
-	Some of the world's largest web operations, such as <link xlink:href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!</link>, run BSD.  The world's
-	busiest FTP server of 1999 (now defunct), <link xlink:href="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/">ftp.cdrom.com</link>, used BSD to
-	transfer 1.4 TB of data a day.    Clearly this is not a niche
-	market: BSD is a well-kept secret.</para>
+	open source &unix; operating system.</para>
 
       <para>So what is the secret?  Why is BSD not better known?  This white
 	paper addresses these and other questions.</para>
