I'm sure that you could find a survey out here to make any point. The Distrowatch HPD stats, http://distrowatch.com/ show a somewhat different distribution of actual users (not just those enterprises _considering_ using).
I agree that the distribution of users differs, but Ubuntu, SUSE and Fedora are consistently in the top 5 across both surveys. Surely you will agree that that says something? The fact that two different surveys collected via *very* different means came to pretty much the same conclusion (particularly regarding the leading distribution, which is miles in front) seems to settle the argument fairly conclusively in my opinion. Of course, none of this lessens the validity of someone wanting to run their smaller distribution of choice. Cheers -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
