Heh, nice.

>PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled,

This is wrong – DesktopBSD and MirBSD, at least, default to enabled as well,
although the user can disable it at install time, and there seem to be some
problems with the reporting, see below.

Sounds great. Will we finally have architecture reporting, working sub-stats
for GNU/kFreeBSD, etc?

>If you have any questions, please feel free to email me ...

Sure.

The number of machines for MirBSD in total disagrees between the main page
and the sub pages. Reported ports from my script – no matter if MirPorts,
NetBSD® pkgsrc®, or Debian dpkg, do not appear in the ports listing any more.

FWIW, MirPorts/MidnightBSD are reported, mports/MidnightBSD should be handled
as FreeBSD ports at the moment, but since I have access to a MidnightBSD ma-
chine as well, I'll adjust my script if needed.
