Percentage Change in November from October:

Overall - 2.5%

Broken down as:

DesktopBSD + 31.8% ( 737 hosts)
DragonFly + 9.5% ( 23 hosts)
FreeBSD + 8.4% (5008 hosts)
GNU/kFreeBSD -100.0% ( 0 hosts)
MidnightBSD +133.3% ( 14 hosts)
MirBSD - 28.6% ( 5 hosts)
NetBSD + 7.2% ( 119 hosts)
OpenBSD + 11.3% ( 79 hosts)
PC-BSD - 13.5% (6551 hosts)

When I go to www.bsdstats.org, I see these figures:

Systems
This Month Percentage
FreeBSD 5,041 67.5 %

Oh no! This is now 5044!

PC-BSD 1,997 26.7 %
DesktopBSD 241 3.2 %
NetBSD 99 1.3 %
OpenBSD 56 0.7 %
DragonFly 24 0.3 %
MidnightBSD 12 0.2 %

So, what's happening here?

When you install the stats program it registers you, then the sites
statistics get updated.

Is it too early in December for some BSD
varieties to report yet?

I've no idea what you're imagining this program does ...

Whatever the answer, PC-BSD has hardly lost
more than 2/3 of its users since November, so something is fishy here.

Huh?

In any case, it would be nice to see a DATE somewhere on these pages.

Date of what? The stats are live.

Thanks for your efforts, BTW. I just ran bsdstats myself.

See. This is your fault, if people like you keep installing it, the
numbers will keep changing!
