This raises the question, is this site intended to promote GNU/Linux 
specifically or FLOSS in general? If the former, then FreeBSD deployments 
cannot be counted. If the latter, then we can include all free and open 
source software, including the BSDs, OpenSolaris and even FLOSS software on 
proprietary platforms (yes, even Windows). Where is the line to be drawn?
