FreeBSD 2.0
|
||||
Contributor List
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Derived Software Contributors:
|
||||
|
||||
This software was originally derived from William F. Jolitz's 386BSD
|
||||
release 0.1, though almost none of the original 386BSD specific code
|
||||
remains. This software has been essentially reimplemented on top of
|
||||
4.4 BSD Lite, from the Computer Science Research Group (CSRG) at
|
||||
the University of California, Berkeley and associated academic
|
||||
contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also portions of NetBSD that have been integrated into FreeBSD
|
||||
as well, and we would therefore like to thank all the contributors
|
||||
to NetBSD for their work. Despite some occasionally rocky moments in
|
||||
the relations between the two groups, we both want essentially the same
|
||||
thing: More BSD based operating systems on people's computers! We
|
||||
wish the NetBSD group every success in their endevors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware Contributors:
|
||||
|
||||
A special thank-you to Walnut Creek CDROM for providing the 486/DX2-66 EISA/VL
|
||||
system that is being used for our development work, to say nothing of
|
||||
the network access and other donations of hardware resources. It would have
|
||||
been impossible to do this release without their support.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks also to Dermot McDonnell for his donation of a Toshiba XM3401B CDROM
|
||||
drive. It's been most useful!

|
||||
In the absence of any other mechanism for counting the number of users
|
||||
of FreeBSD, we like to as kindly suggest that you take a few minutes
|
||||
to please register with the counter set up by
|
||||
<Harald.T.Alvestrand@uninett.no>.
|
||||
|
||||
The justification for such "registration" is twofold: First, we sincerely do
|
||||
wish to know just what the size and demographics of our user-base are
|
||||
in order to better support its needs. Second, it's a sad fact that many
|
||||
people rely on counters and statistics (even when highly dubious) rather
|
||||
than actual experience when chosing an operating system, and the best we
|
||||
can hope to do in such circumstances is to at least try to provide some
|
||||
indication of how popular we are (or are not). This is not how we recommend
|
||||
that people go about chosing an operating system, but the necessity of
|
||||
"marketing" remains an undeniable fact of life.
|
||||
|
||||
The FreeBSD team does not necessarily feel that Harald's counter represents
|
||||
the best approach to such statistics gathering, and its accuracy will only
|
||||
be as good as people's willingness to register with it (which may not reflect
|
||||
the actual OS population at any single point in time), but in the total absence
|
||||
of any other mechanism for providing such useful statistics, it's certainly a
|
||||
start and we thank Harald for his efforts in providing this service.
|
||||
It's a community service, and of potential benefit to everyone (all *BSD
|
||||
users), so let's see if we can't make it work!
|
||||
|
||||
Included below is the standard blurb from the counter.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks in advance,
|
||||
|
||||
The FreeBSD team.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to get registered
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
In brief:
|
||||
|
||||
[To register a running installation of FreeBSD]
|
||||
Send E-mail to bsd-counter@uninett.no with the SUBJECT line
|
||||
|
||||
"I use FreeBSD at <place>"
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
The intention of this counting project is to count all users of UNIXes
|
||||
that are:
|
||||
|
||||
- BSD-derived
|
||||
- Freely available
|
||||
|
||||
The variants NetBSD, 386BSD and FreeBSD are currently distinguished.
|
||||
|
||||
(NOTE: Linux is NOT BSD-derived. If you use that, send mail to
|
||||
linux-counter@uninett.no instead!!!)
|
||||
|
||||
The information is *not* used for any purpose but statistics, and unless
|
||||
you request it, information about single persons are *never* made public.
|
||||
(A list of users who have requested publication is available from the
|
||||
FTP file ftp://aun.uninett.no/pub/misc/386bsd/persons)
|
||||
|
||||
How to register
|
||||
===============
|
||||
Send E-mail to bsd-counter@uninett.no
|
||||
|
||||
The subject should be
|
||||
|
||||
I use FreeBSD|NetBSD|386BSD at <place>
|
||||
|
||||
Where FreeBSD, NetBSD or 386BSD is the particular variant you're using
|
||||
and "place" can be school, work or home, or a combination of these.
|
||||
|
||||
You will get back a letter with 3 things:
|
||||
|
||||
- An acknowledgement
|
||||
- A form that you can fill out and send in with more information
|
||||
about yourself, your machine, and your 386bsd-using friends
|
||||
- A report giving the current status of the counter
|
||||
|
||||
You can update your "vote" at any time, by sending an E-mail message
|
||||
from the same account. Duplicates will be weeded out.
|
||||
|
||||
The current report, available by anonymous FTP to aun.uninett.no,
|
||||
directory pub/misc/386bsd-counter, file "short", is given below.
|
||||
|
||||
For all questions, contact Harald.T.Alvestrand@uninett.no!
