Description

(Note: The vector version that I created is a bar chart, as I don't think a pie chart is appropriate when the numbers don't sum to 100%. Feel free to comment and/or hack away at my chart.)

Note that the question allowed participants to check more than one OS. The percentages around the graph are out of the total answers; the percentages in the key are out of the total participants.

Explanation of chart

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 shown in the key, which are out of the total survey takers (4330), add up to greater than 100%. The percentages shown around the chart, which were used to size the sections, are out of the total answers (5860). 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.

The survey was conducted in September, 2005.
