Fellow Gentoo users, |

|

In an attempt to help Gentoo developers find out more about their user |
| 4 |
base, I've set up a statistics web site at http://gentoo.iq-computing.de |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Please note that we desperately need more volunteering machines |
| 7 |
participating in this survey. Of course, participation is entirely |
| 8 |
optional and free. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
To participate, you need to install a little client software that |
| 11 |
regularly transmits information about your machine to our servers. |
| 12 |
Installing this client is really easy: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
emerge gentoo-stats |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
After installation, you will need to obtain a system ID for your machine. |
| 17 |
To do so, simply run "gentoo-stats --new" (without quotes). As soon as |
| 18 |
you've done with that, you should set up a cronjob that runs the client in |
| 19 |
regular intervals. ("gentoo-stats --new" will print out information to |
| 20 |
help you with that.) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
As is described at http://gentoo.iq-computing.de, we really _do_ respect |
| 24 |
your privacy. Any information that gets transmitted is totally anonymous |
| 25 |
and cannot be backtracked to you. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thanks for helping us making Gentoo better. |

Yours, |
