It wasn't on many previous >reports. Not true, actually. FreeBSD has been higher on the list than Linux for a year or more. Only rarely does Linux come out on top. This shouldn't be a surprise, however, since wcarchive is the primary distribution point for FreeBSD, whereas Linux distribution is more...distributed. I don't think you can assume anything about the position on the list other than that people downloaded more FreeBSD than Linux from wcarchive. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
