Who's The Fastest Growing Linux Distro? (internetnews.com)

internetnews.com uses Netcraft numbers and other factors in this discussion of popular Linux distributions. "Which Linux distribution is the most popular? For many players in the open source realm, that answer depends on which part of the globe is counting, and how. It could also depend on where the major Linux distributors stand with their product release cycles with the latest 2.6 Linux kernel."

Who's The Fastest Growing Linux Distro? (internetnews.com)

"Over the last six months Debian has been the fastest growing Linux distribution when measured by counting active sites which contain the name of a Linux distribution in the Apache Server header."

So, Netcraft only counted servers. I'd be interested in knowing how many user installations are out there of each type. (Wouldn't we all?)
