There are some portal enterprises using FreeBSD such Yahoo! Korea,
Dreamwiz and Neowiz.  They each have more than 1000 hosts at least.

Many of Korean BSDers doesn't read the mailing lists at all.  Some of them
don't read even manpages.  So there's no need to be surprised at the
no-show on stats.  :-)

I just advertised bsdstats to the local BSD community.  So there will few
responses soon.
