I said "was" because following the link http://www.bafug.org/FbsdCounter.html from freebsd.org web site gives a 404 Not Found error! You may take a look at the "FreeBSD Release Usage Statistic" at http://www.freebsd.org/internal/statistic/release_usage/images/. This is not exactly what you want because the current usage values are extracted from the web log files at freebsd.org and do not include all FreeBSD systems in the world. Go to http://www.freebsd.org/internal/statistic.html for more information.
