I don't know how many people uses FreeBSD (does anybody?) but just subtract the traffic of mailing lists of the approximately amount of FBSD users and voila, you have the number of perfectly happy users :) (In fact, you don't have to subtract that and you still get the amount of happy users:) FWIW: I started using FBSD when it was at 2.2.5, now I'm using 3.4. I made my big brother also use FreeBSD, but since they used Linux at his school, he switched to that. I've never seen such big problems with FreeBSD that he had with linux: It took 3 months to get his soundcard working, and his login prompt still acts very weird. Well, not exactly my problem, I've told him that I can help him if he switches to FreeBSD, so I would know the environment, but... At the beginning my friend, who used (and uses) FreeBSD, recommended that I should try Linux first, as I never had had any experience with any unix-like systems. I'm very happy I didn't listen to him, but instead I installed FreeBSD straight away. @-`--,--`--- Jukka Simila To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
