Playing the numbers game 2008: number of Linux installations world wide
,----[ Quote ]
| Given that Fedora/Red Hat has roughly 10% and also roughly 10 million users
| together (which in fact seems like a at least slightly realistic data base,
| given the facts), the total number of Linux users world wide would sum up to
| 100 million Linux users. Nice.
|
| That would leave Mac OS far behind, which is however not that surprising: Mac
| OS is hardly used in Offices or the government outside the US, and it is far
| easier to give Linux a try and keep it as a dual boot option besides a
| Windows installation. Also, the EU governments are pushing Linux quite a lot,
| and many companies and governments indeed switch to Linux right now or
| already switched over in the client space for some of the day-to-day
| workstations.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some

Linux shows staying power on Top500
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest list indicates growing Linux dominance. Linux is used in the top
| nine supercomputer systems in the world. When considered as the primary OS or
| part of a mixed-OS supersystem, Linux is now present in 469 of the
| supercomputer sites, 93.8% of the Top500 list.
