well, it also "shows" that fewer people are having problems with freebsd than all the other OSes

http://google.com/insights/search/#cat=&q=problem%20with%20ubuntu%2Cproblem%20with%20freebsd%2Cproblem%20with%20redhat%2Cproblem%20with%20solaris&geo=&date=&clp=&cmpt=q

:P 

i am never too sure what is actually valid to extrapolate from this sort of information...other than more people search for {term}. WHY do they search for that is more interesting (does it mean prospective ubuntu users are less likely to figure out the url to ubuntu's site than freebsd's ? ) ...

cheers,
