Isn't this a nice piece of PR for Debian ? Among the download of complete distributions from the TUCOWS Linux archives, Debian-based distributions account for 48 per cent! The PR from TUCOWS.com is at http://www.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=Coi_q0bWbtLLusda3nG: "TORONTO, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- TUCOWS.com Inc. (http://www.tucows.com), the Internet's leading distributor of digital content, today announced the industry's first monthly metric that identifies the most popular downloaded Linux software on the company's ftp.linux.tucows.com site. According to TUCOWS' December figures, Corel attained the highest percentage of downloads at 37 per cent, with Red Hat holding firm in second position at 20 per cent and Debian trailing in third place with 11 per cent. Other companies recording downloads included: Mandrake nine per cent; SuSE seven per cent; Slackware six per cent; and, Caldera six per cent. The above data relates to completely new distributions, rather than users updating existing distributions. ..." Nearly reminds me of Apache+Stronghold's >50% numbers in the Netcraft web server installation surveys. It's just a question of how you sell the numbers ;-) Gregor
