Result of this survey will have impact not only on BSD certification, but
also product availability for things like books, software, etc.
Go for it!
From the BSDcertification.org website[1]: ``The BSD Certification Group
announced a new survey today - the BSD Usage Survey. This survey aims to
collect detailed statistics on how and where BSD systems are used around
the world. The survey is short- only 19 questions- and should only take a
few minutes to complete. The English version is here, other language
versions are available.
The survey covers usage of the four main BSD projects - FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
NetBSD and DragonFly BSD. Included are questions on the number of systems
in use; what services they provide; how they are managed and by how many
administrators; and basic demographic questions about the company or
organization- size, location, number of employees, and so forth.''
