Hi y'all! I thought that it might be interesting to see what operating systems other listserv sites were running. So I ran a few UNIX commands to check. See notes at bottom for "More details, & how you can do this yourself" First the results... "Generic OS" # sites VM 105 (69 on BITNET) UNIX 95 (43 running on Suns. Yay!) Windows 49 OpenVMS 18 (2 on BITNET) MORE DETAILS, AND HOW YOU CAN DO THIS YOURSELF cat peers.names | grep system |cut -f1 -d" "| sort | uniq -c | sort -r gave me the operating systems of the computers on BITNET... 47 :system.VM/ESA 10 :system.VM/SP 9 :system.VM/XA 5 :system.VM/HPO 2 :system.OpenVMS and cat intpeers.names | grep system |cut -f1 -d" "| sort | uniq -c | sort -r let me know what OS were being used by computers on the Internet... 49 :system.Windows 31 :system.VM/ESA 31 :system.Solaris 26 :system.AIX 16 :system.OpenVMS 12 :system.SunOS 7 :system.Linux 5 :system.OSF/1 5 :system.HP-UX 4 :system.BSD/OS 3 :system.Ultrix 2 :system.VM/SP 2 :system.VM/HPO 2 :system.IRIX 1 :system.VM/XA For those interested in Microsoft's 3d place contribution... grep Windows intpeers.names | sort | uniq -c | sort -r 29 :system.Windows NT 3.51 19 :system.Windows NT 4.0 1 :system.Windows 95 None of this data will tell you anything about LISTSERV running on standalone sites, of course. I don't know how significant those Intranet numbers are. but I'd guess Windows & Unix systems might look a little more popular... I wonder how many keyword searches this post is going to screw up? :-) --Jeff B.
