That is a snapshot of of unique ips that requested a mirror list from<br>
our MirrorManager system in the last day.<br>
<br>
Europe is MORE densely populated per km^2 with Fedora installs than<br>
is the US Coasts. Fedora is not a US-only userbase. And thanks to our<br>
mirrormanager stuff, we can actually visually that. In fact we soon<br>
I'll be able to visualize where we are growing the fastest...I have<br>
the pieces in place now.<br>
<br>
If you want the longer view as to Fedora's popularity than you can read this:<br>

9.5 million! And we have an actually methodology that backs up the<br>
numbers we release to the press!<br>

<br>
I dare you to find anyone who can will go on record as to how<br>
Canonical comes up with its Ubuntu install numbers. I DARE YOU.<br>
Canonical reps have yet to go on record anywhere with the methodology<br>
of how they come up with the numbers they quote to the press.<br>
<br>
And for the record Canonical has stated the exact same install numbers<br>
for 3+ years now. 3+ years with absolutely no estimated growth..that<br>
is what Canonical is saying. If you want to trust those numbers,<br>
that's your business. But if you are going to talk about it here. I<br>
demand that you dig up the methodology as to how they are counting.<br>
Because we do everything we can to be transparent about it.... because<br>
we care about accuracy and not about hype.<br>
