It seems that Corel >is a good target for a FreeBSD promotional effort... The reason being that A, Linux has around 7M users, and B, has 100% growth rate over several years. While I would really like to see FBSD-Native versions of the Corel suite, realistically, this isn't going to happen unless we can show Corel that there is a viable market here. So, my question (finally!): Are there any estimates to the number of FreeBSD users / systems out there? If so, where? How do the BSD number stand up to Linux' numbers? What does the FreeBSD growth curve look like? Thanks, +C -- -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?
