Checkboxes might allow people to select every option and skew the results, but I gave my input

i saw that yesterday. it seemed like a really weak survey from what is otherwise a really great site. i also thought it was kind of weird that they had goblinX, tomahawk, and pie box (?) linux, but not arch or centos; blackbox and enlightenment, but not fluxbox; and flock (?) web browser and all those old netscapes, but not epiphany (does anyone *really* use netscape 4.x ???). sure you can email them, but those just seem like strange choices/oversights.

At the same time, there are a lot of users who use more than one distro, more than one browser, more than one....
...There aren't many options besides checkboxes.
