I guess it is Sunday already. Attached is the survey results (in html
as shown on their website). Apparently the free surveying services do
not allow seeing individual responses to be able to correlate options
selected by "debian" or "gentoo" users. Guess it turned out to be a
waste? Anyways, a lesson learnt :)
