"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

--Benjamin Disraeli

This Web site still delivers over 10,000 pages a day (to human visitors). While operating system usage is very difficult to gauge where Linux is involved (c/f the market share lie), AWStats gives figures based on cases where there is confidence and certainty that the connection is made from GNU/Linux PCs. Here are the numbers:

Nov 2006	41.2 %
Dec 2006	40.5 %
Jan 2007	33.2 %
Feb 2007	32.8 %
Mar 2007	33.7 %
Apr 2007	33 %
May 2007	31.1 %
Jun 2007	36.5 %
Jul 2007	30.9 %
Aug 2007	36.4 %
Sep 2007	36.6 %
Oct 2007	36.8 %
Nov 2007	38.1 %
Dec 2007	31.1%
Jan 2088	30.3 %
Feb 2008	35.6 %

These occasional drops of ~5% below the average occur when very large spikes (usually event-driven) are included, which means that many 'outsiders' come and visit. And still, this is just a lower bound for the reasons cited above.

Now, if only sites such as this were actually included in those surveys that are based on 'junk food' sites where privacy of individual visitors is not honoured (because they don't care)... ⬆
