Here's a reasonable interpretation: Ubuntu has more Linux newbies who need more basic information and has a user base that relies more heavily on generic sources of information such as Google. Fedora attracts more sophisticated and experienced Linux users who are more self-reliant and makes more use of Fedora-specific forums to resolve issues. SuSE Linux users are even more self-reliant than Fedora users. OpenSUSE is clearly a minority taste so far... And poor Redhat...dying on the vine. Or maybe its users are using paid support from Redhat. Of course, the problem with this is that without a knowledge of the population of users and / or installed systems in each of those categories, it's impossible to say much at all. > FYI: I'm not on the OT list, but maybe this should go there.
