I was just thinking about it, and one point that I don't know if I've ever
made (or haven't made in awhile) is that BSDStats looks at who is *using*
a *BSD variant, not who *was* ... it relies on being run *at least* once a
month for a server to be counted ... if you run it once and never run it
again, you only count for that *period*, but fall off the radar relatively
quickly.
Basically, if someone installed FreeBSD 2 years ago, installed the port
and then switched to Linux a year later, even though they are still listed
in the system, they are not part of the 'current' states, as they are no
longer reporting ...
That is why the initial install puts it into
/usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly, so that it hopefully gets run *at least*
at the beginning of each month ... it can be run more often over the
month, it will still count as *1* install, but it needs to be run *at
least* once a month for a machine to continue to be counted ...

Maybe some sort of 'Server Running *BSD' icon / link from web sites to
bsdstats.org would help too ...

The problem with not including bsdstats in sysinstall or some
other means of bringing it to peoples attention is that it gets

I think everyone agrees that bsdstats needs more visibility right from
the virgin install. Since its not appropriate to include bsdstats in the
sysinstall program. How about getting the RELEASE team to change the
content of the default logon message of the day /etc/motd, to advocacy
installing the bsdstats package. What do you think about this idea?
