... and now with Fedora

I like Tim O'Reilly articles for the Radar. One of the last ones compared with Google Trends four major Linux distros. The graphic that accompanied the article was this one:

ubuntu<em>gtrend</em>thumb

I found the RedHat line very low, it was not what I was expecting at all. Then it hit me: he didn't include Fedora. It's not even mentioned in the article at all, something that makes me uneasy about his analysis.

So with Fedora we get:

ubuntu<em>gtrends</em>plus_fedora

Ah, now it makes sense. Another thing I noticed, is that he searched 'Red Hat', with a space. Without that space you get:

ubuntu<em>gtrends</em>plus<em>fedora</em>red_hat

Interesting: the end point is more or less the same, but they where higher two years ago, so even worse.

For the record, I could care less which distro you use, as longs it suits you. Personally I prefer CentOS because I only use Linux on servers, not desktops. If I were using Linux on a Desktop, I would choose Fedora, just because I feel more confortable with RedHat-like environments, after so many years. I would install Ubuntu to see what is the fuss all about, though.
