"Statistics back up Novell's contention. In the past month, Open Suse supplanted Ubuntu as the No. 1 choice, according to the download access-tracking DistroWatch.com Web site. Fedora? It fell to No. 3." Although the above statement is most likely true.... I don't think Distrowatch's figure are a true measure of much of anything. SuSE just release 10.2 a few weeks ago for download. Thus, there are a lot of downloads of it. Ubuntu is due for a release sometime soon but hasn't released its next version yet. Expect it to become No. 1 when it is released and some of the 10.2 downloads have lessened. Not a very scientific way of measuring popularity.
