Measuring the popularity of distros â Part 4 Conclusion

,----[ Quote ]
| A fairly clear conclusion that can be drawn is 
| that Ubuntu is the more popular distro. Most of 
| the statistics point to this. Less clear is the 
| 2nd most popular. Distrowatch says Linux Mint. 
| Google Trends says Debian. Linux Tracker says 
| Debian for one and Fedora for the second. 
| Overall then, Iâd go for Debian being the 
| second most popular. If you consider that 
| Ubuntu is based upon Debian, this would 
| actually make Debian the most popular distro by 
| far as you could count all the Ubuntu 
| installations, all the Ubuntu installations, 
| all the Ubuntu-based distros installations and 
| all the Debian-based installations. Fedora 
| would then be my choice third most popular.

| In several ways, Red Hat already plays the
| free game well. Out of Fedora's 21,676,499+
| users, if only a 1/100 of a percent ever
| contribute any content that lands in Red
| Hat Enterprise Linux, it is a win for Red
| Hat. It also behooves Red Hat to pay
| attention to CentOS's rpm repositories when
| rolling up the latest updates. As far as I
| know, Red Hat pays nothing to the CentOS
| project yet Red Hat can use CentOS as a
| product development source.
