Numbers, Downloads and Straws
,----[ Quote ]
| If we take the Fedora numbers, divide them by two and do the same with the
| numbers of Ubuntu, that would give us an impressive number for “an operating
| system for hobbyists”. But what we should not forget in that count is the
| other distributions. Take for granted that today I will not bug you with the
| ones that are in the southern section of the Distrowatch rankings. But what
| about OpenSuse, Mint, Mandriva? Let’s put them at one million each and ignore
| the rest of the candidates. Together with Ubuntu and Fedora, this estimate
| that I would qualify as conservative (when should I stop cutting and dividing
| those numbers to sound serious?) makes GNU/Linux not the distant third, but
| the second most used operating systems behind the Windows family. Remember me
| when you’ll read the next analyst report stating the immaturity of Linux on
| the desktop. These numbers make sense, and we should think about them. They
| mean something is happening, and it does so by flying under the radar. All
| the more interesting to watch, I guess.
|
| Don’t open up the champagne, folks; this is just the beginning….

Red Hat Fedora Claims It's the Leader in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's Fedora community Linux distribution has now tallied its user base,
| and it's a number that on the surface would make it the largest installed
| base of any Linux distribution, with at least 9.5 million users and possibly
| as many as 10.5 million.
