It would establish an upper bound of well-administrated debian machines, I think. > I have dozens of chroots that I use for multiple reasons. Good point. I wonder how much these contribute to the overall statistics though. Alternatively, one could argue relatively convincing that a chroot with a complete debian system should be counted as another debian installation. Compare with virtual machines, which is rather similar to a chroot installation on a normal PC. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
