“Linux-counter statistics show that Mandrake is on a good
way to become a next “major” Linux distribution.“
“Mandrake, a distribution rather similar to Red Hat, but
explicitely targeted at home-users has been a subject of many Press
releases, including those talking about “best selling distribution”
during the last six months. However, as usuall in the Linux
universe, it is allmost impossible to find out what is a real
impact of the Mandrake compared to other distributions.”
“One of the rare places which tries to follow the world-wide
development of the linux-use is the Linux counter, a non-profit
organisation dedicated to counting the linux users, and gathering
of the general Linux-related statistics. While this info certainly
lacks accuracy (registering is voluntaryly and less than 1% of
users actually register), it is the best freely available
statistics on linux usage.”
