Here's the last day of slashdotting, for anyone interested. (End of the thread for me, since things are pretty much back to normal.)

Day #3 is getting back to normal usage. 70.263 hits for the day. Between midnight and 4am, about 10,000 hits.

Just thought I'd send an update on the slashdotting for those of you who are interested.

Day #2 is less busy, as expected. 126,339 hits for the day (average is around 54,000). Between midnight and 4am (when the stats run) we had 9,299 hits (in that time, I think we usually get only 3,000 - 4,000 hits.)

I saw that this got posted on slashdot last night, so I made sure the SF.net mirror was up-to-date, and posted something to the slashdot forums about where to find the list of mirrors if the FreeDOS.org site becomes unavailable. So far, we're doing fine under the slashdotting. :-)

You can definitely see it in the site stats. Maybe you guys will be interested in them - The item was posted around 5pm local time, and we had 203,499 hits for the day (normally, 54,000). The stats run around 4am or so (according to last-modified time on the stats page) and in those 4 hrs we had 26,106 more hits. In the wee hours, usually we get something like 3,000 - 4,000 hits.

Compare that to the minor slashdotting we received back in June: we had 134,000 hits on the first day, 180,000 hits the second day, 88,000 hits the third day, then things were pretty much back to normal. That was Mon-Wed. This being a weekend, our 2nd and 3rd days may not be as high.

Steve sent me this email off-list about how FreeDOS will be shipped with HP computers sold in China. Though I'd re-post it here:

I noticed the OS was FreeDOS - cool!

Cool! :-)
