Re: FreeBSD not popular in Asia?

 Check out http://www.bsdstats.org ... Republic of Korea is about to push 
 the US out of first place, but there are *zero* FreeBSD boxes reporting 
 from there ... DragonFly is first, then NetBSD and then OpenBSD ...

6 days later: Thailand jumped from 12 machines to 110... ahead of
France and Australia.

Only thing that the figures say is that they are far from being
accurate.

And that people should be reminded to register from time to time.

This is a long shot, but couldn't it just be that a portal or
usergroup of some kind started promoting bsdstats?
Lets say a BSD usergroup in Thailand posted a notice on the first
page about bsdstats. The usergroup has 200 visitors a day and half
of them decides to follow the advice and install bsdstats. That
would explain the sudden burst of 100 machines.

Another plausible explanation is that an administrator of some
network with 100 or so workstations or servers decided to push out
bsdstats as a nightly upgrade or similar.

It does not seem totally impossible to me, alltough I would not base
any major decision on those figures without checking them first.

At only 5000 hosts, I wouldn't be basing any decisions anyway ... I'd like 
to see 10x that number, and consistently, every month before reading *too* 
much into them ...


Its only been running about 30 days so far, so @ 5k hosts so far, and most

That makes me kind angry too but many other failed to show the big corps
what the bsd* OSs worth.

Macromedia know about freebsd, the linux dev coordinator posts about freebsd
in his product blog but they don't care.. they know that having a linux
driver is enough to have a good reputation in the OSS world. There is
a 2.5Ksignatures petition regarding flash, there are
2.5M hits with freebsd macromedia search string in google, they have like
hundres of *bsd messages in the wish forms... what else can be shown to
proove that we exist? Nothing... they just don't care.. unless the whole OSS
comunity speaks.. there isn't much we can do.

Anyway, I've added some boxes to the bsdstats project.

Interesting.  The 300.bsdstats script seems to except OpenBSD and NetBSD

That does look extremely consistent with the known supported platforms

games, then they have gone to a great deal of trouble to invent realistic
data.  On the other hand, if it is real, and since it seems to come from
a single IP so we can assume it's all from one project or corporate entity,
then it sounds like a very interesting project I'd like to hear more about,
and I'm sure that the advocacy@ crowd would love to present as a 'BSD
Success Story'


Granted, but, after talking to Matt @ DragonFly, based on the fact that 
DragonFly doesn't have a port to AMD64 (it was a fork of FreeBSD 4.x) I've 
removed China/India/Korea from the list as 'overly suspicious numbers' ...

Apropos nothing else though -- can you add 'operating_system' columns 
along side the 'release' columns on the 'Releases' page.  Counting 
OpenBSD 4.0 along with FreeBSD 4.0 doesn't make a whole lot of sense.


All ready being worked on :)  Each OS will have their own set of 'detail

There are currently ~2800 hosts out there that agree with that, and 
growing ...


If by adding the other *BSDs to the stats adds competition between us, so 
be it ... same with the Country stats ... so be it ... it is (or should 
be) a healthy competition ... I don't grimace when someone tells me they

Will it result in fakers screwing around with the numbers?  Definitely,

If someone out there has a suggestion on how to man 'faking it' even 
harder, I'm definitely all ears though ...

There are some portal enterprises using FreeBSD such Yahoo! Korea,
Dreamwiz and Neowiz.  They each have more than 1000 hosts at least.


Or maybe the FreeBSD users in Korea use their systems for real work
and don't read this list or play these sorts of games...  The Open/
Net/DFly users are hobbyists who like to play these games.


Many of Korean BSDers doesn't read the mailing lists at all.  Some of them
don't read even manpages.  So there's no need to be surprised at the
no-show on stats.  :-)

I just advertised bsdstats to the local BSD community.  So there will few

Are you sure they weren't just hit by the same timezone issue affecting 
us Aussies...? :-) After all, DFly/Open/Net didn't start coming on board 
until after the monthly rollover that affected us in .au ...


(For those wondering what all that means: the BSDstats server counted 
.au and nearby timezones into August's results, rather than September, 
because the BSDStats server's time was still in August when our machines 
started doing our monthly periodic run for September...)

 Correct. There are no Korean FreeBSD hosts out there... that have 
 signed up.
 
 I have about 8 or 10 boxes, I've signed up only one.  No particular 
 reason.

Reported hosts for China and India are following the same pattern.  About
equal numbers of Open/Net/DFly and very few Free.  Either there's some
fairly large scale project in those countries using hundreds of those
systems, or someone is playing games.  It would be interesting to see the
reported devices for those machines, if any.

Cheers,

Matthew

Reported devices right now doesn't work on the other BSDs, as apparently 
we are the only one that has a pciconf command :(  But, here is a sampling

Oh, and I did check CN (China, I hope?) and they show similar trends, but 
not the same releases / architectures / counts ...

Or maybe the FreeBSD users in Korea use their systems for real work  
and don't read this list or play these sorts of games...  The Open/ 
Net/DFly users are hobbyists who like to play these games.


I am not knocking the bsdstats effort -- just that lots of serious  
users with machines in production won't report back (I know I am  
not).  Your sample is probably statistically invalid.
