Nearly 2 Million Active Sites running FreeBSD

Echo|Fox writes "So much for *BSD is dying. The latest Netcraft survey shows over 2 million active sites, and almost 4 million active hostnames all running on FreeBSD. Combined with the report that 5 of the top 10 hosting companies in terms of reliability were FreeBSD based, it's been a very positive month *BSD wise. Perhaps the most interesting quote from the survey is: 'Indeed it [FreeBSD] is the only other operating system that is gaining, rather than losing share of the active sites found by the Web Server Survey.'"

Does Mac OS X count?

Does OS X count, when they sum up all the BSD machines?

Re:Does Mac OS X count?

On Netcraft MacOS X shows up as MacOS X and in the server string it states "Darwin"

So no, they are not including MacOS X :-)

Slight error in story posting

5 of the top 10 hosting companies in terms of reliability were FreeBSD based

When in actuality the netcraft article says this:

"Intriguingly, all of the Top 5 placed sites run the FreeBSD operating system" :)

Slight difference there.

Might as well get this out of the way now...

This doesn't show anything! I'm a big fanboy for:

_____ -- put OS here

That runs:

_____ -- put web server here

And it's just as reliable and good as FreeBSD.
Hell, It's BETTER because:

___________________________-- put dubious statistics here

_______ -- put marketing rhetoric here

And besides, you can't do:

________ -- put proprietary technology here

with FreeBSD anyway so it's worthless!!!
