Interesting survey results...

(Extract from a Sun blog:)
An [interesting survey][1] shows that the _"Most popular OS amongst top 100 universities is: Sun Solaris"_. It says: 
   Exact number of universities using:


1. Sun Solaris (7/8/9): 47
2. Linux: 31
3. FreeBSD: 6
4. Microsoft Windows 2000: 5
5. Compaq Tru64 UNIX: 2
6. Microsoft Windows Server 2003: 2
7. IBM AIX: 2
8. Microsoft Windows NT/98: 1
9. BSD/OS: 1
10. Unknown: 3

Its really great to see that Solaris is top banana in the University world! And can only be on the increase as more of OpenSolaris becomes available to the public; thus spawning a new generation of university R&D projects.

(Err... "Unknown:3"? I wonder who they asked... ;-) )
