AFAIK it requires specific opt-in. And as an example, while we have many clients who run PostgreSQL on Debian, I'm pretty sure not a single one is counted there. And I think looking at the trend is wrong too - because the more installations you get in large companies etc, the less likely are they to opt-in. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
