Each installed machine counts toward the installed base count. Each location that has one or more machines counts ONCE toward the installed site count. Sorry, but I don't have time to establish survey (voting) software... and there are many neat questions to ask, like: THIS IS NOT A REAL SURVEY, JUST A SUGGESTION! PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME STUFF, BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO DROP IT IN THE BIT BUCKET! o Are you using *BSD as a part of your business? o Are you using *BSD at an educational institution? o Did you deinstall another OS to install *BSD? o If so, which one? o Have you deinstalled *BSD to run another OS? o If so, which one? o If so, what were your reasons in doing so? o Rate the support you have recieved from the net and the *BSD developement/release groups from 1 to 10 (10 being best). o Do you have a unique application for your *BSD system? (answer in detail). o Are you running BSD in a unique environment? (answer in detail). THIS IS NOT A REAL SURVEY, JUST A SUGGESTION! PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME STUFF, BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO DROP IT IN THE BIT BUCKET! Someone needs to do this as a class project for technical writing or something...
