According to this article from InternetNews, the need to count the number of Linux users has become apparent. Red Hat and Novell may actually set aside their differences and aggregate some figures. Fedora Core 6 (Zod) can boast an estimated 2-million-installation milestone.

With the new threshold crossing, it is unclear whether Fedora 6 is the No. 1 Linux distribution in use today, but internetnews.com has learned that preliminary discussions are underway that could see Novell's OpenSUSE Linux distribution partner with Red Hat's Fedora to drive open statistics about Linux use.

[...]

"We were talking to them about Smolt and one of the things that came out of that is that let's spend some time and work on it together so what is developed for Fedora will work with SUSE," Spevack said.

A site to boycott Novell. You guys need to get a life, finally someone is making Linux usable for business and this is your take. Whatever.
