Nope, I know one subscriber that uses neither -- he has a Sparc 5 running
Solaris 2.4.  But he perfers setting up Solaris so it looks as BSD as
possible (yes he needs to run Solaris specificly).  So maybe we can still
count him in the BSD camp???  Well, even w/o him, *BSD is still ahead.
Yea!

No lie on that *one* subscriber.  :-)
