A quick look at this month’s snapshot reveals that an estimated 41.9% of the page requests come from GNU/Linux users, of which 4.1 % are on Fedora boxes and 3.5 % are on SUSE boxes. The rest of the list is below:

Debian: 2.8 % Ubuntu: 2.7 % Mandriva: 2.4 % Centos: 0.2 % Red Hat: 0.1 % GNU Linux (Unknown or unspecified distribution): 25.7 %

That last figure ought to show why it is so difficult — if not altogether impossible — to track proper numbers based on Web statistics. It’s an issue of diversity (HTTP headers), among many other factors.

These statistics must be taken with a grain of salt because, like all statistics, they are bound to be meaningless or deceiving. Interesting to watch nonetheless! █
