Gotta start somewhere ... how many of us are really out there?

Approximately 15000 portsnap snapshots (i.e., /var/db/portsnap or
/usr/local/portsnap directories) are being kept updated on systems
which send HTTP requests to portsnap*.freebsd.org.  Of these, about
4300 are running FreeBSD 6.0, 4500 are running FreeBSD 6.1, 2400
are running FreeBSD 6-STABLE, 300 are running FreeBSD 5.5, and the
remaining 3500 are using copies of portsnap installed from the ports
tree (presumably on earlier FreeBSD releases, since the portsnap
port won't install if portsnap is already part of the FreeBSD base
system).
