That's work's problem.  That's where most of them are, nameservers,
database servers, logging servers, AFS servers, kerberos servers,
print servers, dhcp servers, web servers, ftp servers, intrusion
detection, port scanning, monitoring.... I think that's most of it.
A few desktops.  I have a much smaller number of them at home,
but they also send me mail.  And there's this project I do
volunteer work for, there's a few more NetBSD boxes there.
