[Fedora-marketing-list] More on the millions

[Rahul Sundaram <sundaram fedoraproject org>]

Hi


"Red Hat's Fedora Core 6.0 Linux distribution has crossed the million 
user milestone. Is it enough for the community-driven Linux distribution 
to claim it's the most popular Linux version?

Let's go to the stats. According to Fedora Project statistics, Fedora 
Core 6.0 has averaged 9.4 new installations every minute since the 
release of Red Hat's community driven distribution in late October"

"On average, Red Hat is seeing over 95,000 Fedora Core 6 installs per 
week, which is a very high rate for an operating system, Linux or not. 
And the numbers are growing as time progresses, with recent weeks above 
100,000 new installs and the Christmas and Hanukkah holiday week 
accounting for 130,000 downloads. Those numbers do not count 
installations from mirror sites on the Internet that distribute Fedora 
Core, by the way. (You can see the stats for Fedora Core 6 downloads on 
this page.)"
