Re: [Fedora-marketing-list] More on the millions
I would say whats helped this a lot is the free media project. I'm not
saying its the only thing but I think that has been one of the most
successful projects launched to help non users to experience Linux and
Fedora.

Hi
"Red Hat's Fedora Core 6.0 Linux distribution has crossed the million
user milestone. Is it enough for the community-driven Linux distribution
to claim it's the most popular Linux version?
Let's go to the stats. According to Fedora Project statistics, Fedora
Core 6.0 has averaged 9.4 new installations every minute since the
release of Red Hat's community driven distribution in late October"

"On average, Red Hat is seeing over 95,000 Fedora Core 6 installs per
week, which is a very high rate for an operating system, Linux or not.
And the numbers are growing as time progresses, with recent weeks above
100,000 new installs and the Christmas and Hanukkah holiday week
accounting for 130,000 downloads. Those numbers do not count
installations from mirror sites on the Internet that distribute Fedora
Core, by the way. (You can see the stats for Fedora Core 6 downloads on
this page.)"
