As you indicate, popcon isn't going to properly report all of the Linux systems "out there" that are running in completely isolated RF islands (much of network 44./8). Even the ones that do have a path to the outside are likely going to be configured to minimize any extra traffic over our extremely bandwidth-limited RF links. However, if debian determines the priority of packages based on popularity from internet-connected systems, and priority for names is given to the highest scoring package, (instead of the first one to use it), then it's unlikely we'll get to keep our place here. Honestly, I can't say I'd fault debian for making such a decision, as we're certainly in the minority of their users. However, to answer your question, judging usage or the presence of "these people" by popcon is probably significantly and atypically less accurate for us as a group :) --=20 Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS --------------enig4818A72427E4D7AFBEDE3A6B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPo/dCAAoJEBeZxaMESjNVtWIIAMETsxBZvFeYnjbEWfLqJrA4 vVpNcyZcRuoTcvSwLisTpaWcM8QzfqJsoPCxvdSSxcfCHKXf0WAJcALjxPYNACeF pwb759A5EMjFwwofEi6081VpUya1lDE3l9xjqO7eXIOBhcLwH6h26DHbAD6RKG0U GFsGNODMsRC8vOusNvH87NT3vq34WO6KNt4W3w/FueyVotVk5J/oCTVmqV9uVqJO qq7dGMwkkCLZh2/YTguVkrvCKGSZJ5XkBAJO1EYxRWSb4CNhviBn4z1DitBPWQLv oW3oux/QHzbi4Fh5LIdo9/1x+rcSVn/AyUa3SdYbv9Ez03MmqMmpuc6mrisPjEE= =SsQn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig4818A72427E4D7AFBEDE3A6B--
