To be totally honest, 'load n the checkin server' isn't something I'm terribly worried about ... right now, we are at ~200 hosts checking in, from various time zones (see http://bsdstats.hub.org/bsd_statistics.php for countries that have checked in so far) ... so, even at month end, taking into consideration time zones, I don't expect a major hit ... now, if we get to 10's of thousands of hosts, which I'd *love*, then I may worry, but by then, I'll have a Dual-Core Dual CPU server in place that I can move the whole thing over onto ... IMHO, its going to be a slow ramp up over a long period of time, but, as I mentioned earlier ... it has to start somewhere, and we've accomplished that ... now to get everyone actually checking in, now that will be a feat to see :) I've also contacted folks @ NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD about participating ... again, our aim is to show that the *BSD camp is a market to look at, not just a group of hobbiests ... > > >> >> I've now committed v2.0 of the 300.statistics periodic script ... this one >> adds the device reporting that we'd talked about previously, and the >> summary reports now reflect the driver(s) in use for those deciding to >> report ... >> >> This Phase of the script is optional, and not enabled by default ...
