That's probably right. However, there are release statistics at http://bsdstats.org/releases.php At the time of this writing, it's 1344 (6.x) vs 1152 (4.x). However, those numbers are probably not very meaningful either, because they represent only a very small fraction of all FreeBSD users. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
