I don't have any data on this, but, anecdotally, I believe RH is the
most widely implemented on this side of the world... SuSe might be more
prevalent in Europe... another plus of RH for PHB types is that there is
a publically traded, viable company backing it...
The other possibility is talk to some local, reputable vendor like
antarctic-it and ask what they mostly support... if they do a lot of
Debian support, perhaps you could use debian and present them to your
bosses as a going concern that offers support...
just thinkin' out loud...
in answer to the main question.. market share... I don't think I'm going
out on a limb here saying that RH is the most widely used distro...
cheers,
