In an earlier thread, I think in -chat, it was noted that Netcraft had a list of what big "developers" were using. If you check IBM it's mostly AIX, a few OS/2, a few NT machines and 6 FreeBSD machines (all in Russia). There is only one web server (listed) in the IBM domain that is running Linux. Does that mean FreeBSD is 6x more popular than Linux inside IBM? :-) Brett *********************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu * brett@daemonnews.org * * http://www.daemonnews.org/ * *********************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
