Oh Linux, how shall I count thy installs?

| So the question here is. If marketing and 
| research companies want accurate statistics 
| (assuming they do) then how can they count 
| the real number of Linux installations? Quite 
| simply they can't. This means that 93.4% of 
| the statistics recorded only show less than 
| 9.8% of the true number of Linux 
| installations (where did those numbers come 
| from I wonder :).

| With over 20 million installations, Fedora is
| among the most world's popular Linux
| distributions. While that kind of success has
| been due to a rapid base of supporters, the
| distro originally launched by Red Hat as a
| community Linux project is having to bridge the
| divide between targeting a mass audience and
| keeping hardcore enthusiasts in the fold.
