BSDStats numbers (Oct 2007)

Posted on November 1, 2007 by Gerard

These are the final figures from BSDstats.org for October 2007 showing the use of *BSD operating systems:

PC-BSD 7554 (54.2%)
FreeBSD 5614 (40.3%)
DesktopBSD 554 (4.0%)
NetBSD 111 (0.8%)
OpenBSD 71 (0.5%)
DragonFlyBSD 21 (0.2%)
MirBSD 7 (0.1%)
MidnightBSD 6 (0.0%)
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD 2 (0.0%)

PC-BSD is #1 for a few months now, but that can be explained since bsdstats pinging is on by default. I’m pretty sure there are many more FreeBSD servers out there, but without the BSDstats port installed. This port can be installed from /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats/

Spread the word about this port and install it on your own PC/Server (the pinging is done anonymously).

The BSD Community must be a lot bigger than 13,940 PCs/Servers ;-) Let’s prove how strong the *BSD community is.

I have installed bsdstats in all of my servers, and told friends to do so.

Go FreeBSD Go! :)

I’ve installed this on my own server (the one that runs my blog) and made a quick post about it here:

On Monday I will install it on all the servers at work too :)

Ashley,

Thank you!

The more we write about it, the more FreeBSD get widespread. :)
