The BSD Certification Group, after advertising on a number of mailing lists, surveyed 4330 BSD users, 3958 of whom took the survey in English. Other languages offered were Brazilian and European Portuguese, German, Italian, and Polish. Note that there was no control group or pre-screening of the survey takers. Those who checked "Other" were asked to specify that operating system. Note that the operating system survey takers filled in for "other" may or may not be considered BSD operating systems by most people.
Note that because survey takers were permitted to select more than one answer, the percentages which were used to size the sections are out of the total answers. Note that if a survey taker filled in more than one choice for "other", this is still only counted as one vote for "other" on this chart.
