[linux] Distro/Unix flavor survey

Sun May 8 17:35:10 PDT 2005

You've probably all seen this on Slashdot, but I thought
DesktopLinux's informal survey of 3080 of their readers
is an interesting addition to this thread:

<http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT2127420238.html>

Summary:

Distros were pretty close, in this order:
Mandrake (17.6%)
SuSE (17.5%)
Red Hat (presumably including Fedora Core, ~15%)
Debian (~14%)
Gentoo (~10%)

KDE got *60%* of Windowing environment votes.

This is of course skewed to their desktop-users
demographic, it's an unscientific sample, etc.
