This is the results of the online survey of 38.000 users asking for 
their desktop/laptop usage. There are some odd results such as Gentoo 
being on 7% while Mandriva not showing up much at all.

I wasn't even aware they were doing a survey earlier. Interesting 
results nevertheless. The usage of thunderbird and virtualbox for example.
