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! ⬆
