While I was in the audience at the German Perl Workshop I was peeking at peoples laptops to see what they were using, (and trying to see what kind of new laptop id like to buy) and was somewhat surprised by the OS'es in use. So I organized a straw poll to get some numbers. Keep in mind people could vote more than once. Nevertheless I think the numbers are interesting, I certainly didn't expect to see so many Windows machines in use given the nature of the crowd. Operating System OS Class Count Win32 Win32 41 Debian Linux 36 SUSE Linux 26 Solaris Unix 24 Ubuntu Linux 22 BSD Unix 19 Red Hat Linux 16 OS-X Unix 14 Gentoo Linux 4 AIX Unix 2 HP/UX Unix 2 Mandriva Linux 2 Slackware Linux 2 VMS VMS 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------- OS Class Linux 108 Unix 61 VMS 2 Win32 41 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total Result 212 BTW, many thanks to the GPW organizers, I definitely had a great time and am looking forward to attending again next year. cheers, Yves ps: The unix/linux breakdown is my own, apologies if i mis-categorized anybodys platform. -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Next
