This article shows you an example analysis of Fedora users occupying the LINUX system, which is concise and easy to understand, which will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Fedora users have been flooded, here are Fedora user groups using Linux system statistics, so that we have a better understanding of the Linux system. The day before the launch of the Fedora 10 operating system, Red Hat Fedora's statistics show that it has more users than other Linux system publishers.

Considering that the current Linux system does not require users to register personal information during installation, it is not easy to count Linux Fedora user data. However, in order to count the user base of their own Linux distributions, Linux manufacturers still try to use other methods to carry out related statistical work.

At present, Red Hat Fedora user community has counted its own Fedora user group. Statistics show that at least 9.5 million and no more than 10.05 million users are using various versions of Red Hat Fedora operating system, compared with Ubuntu Linux's own statistics of only 8 million users. It can be seen that Red Hat Fedora user base has occupied the first place in the Linux industry.

"the data statistics for overall Fedora users are very difficult," Paul Frields, head of the Fedora project, told InternetNews.com. "We count based on the number of independent IP addresses, and the total number of users for various versions, including Fedora 7, 8 and 9, is about 9.5 million."

Fedora's data show that Red Hat Fedora, the main publisher of Linux, continues to maintain a dominant position in the industry. After releasing the data, Frields and its project team also pointed out that the next version of Fedora 10 will be officially released tomorrow.

Frields pointed out that since the release of Fedora Core 6, the company has been roughly estimating the number of users based on the number of independent IP addresses that are detected to participate in Fedora users' system updates. However, this estimation method has some disadvantages, for example, in the case of frequently changing IP addresses using DHCP, it is possible to count the same machine using dynamic IP addresses many times, which is too much, and there is also the possibility that an independent IP address may be used by multiple computers, and each system uses NAT to obtain a local IP address to surf the Internet. But this estimate is by far the most accurate way to count users, taking into account the offsetting factors of more and less data.

It is understood that 9.5 million user data span three separate Fedora distributions, each with a different number of users. As of the 19th of this month, the Fedora 7 version has 3.4 million user IP addresses, Fedora 8 has 3.9 million user IP addresses, Fedora 9 has nearly 1.8 million user IP addresses, and the * development version of Fedora Rawhide has nearly 500000 independent IP addresses. Although Fedora Core 6 is no longer a frequently updated release, the number of IP addresses counted by users in this version has also reached *. It is understood that Fedora Core 6 was officially issued in October 2006. As of May last year, Fedora Core 6 has more than 2 million active independent IP addresses.

Frields pointed out that the Fedora user statistics do not include Red Hat Enterprise Linux Fedora users who have been commercialized. At a recent analysis meeting, Paul Cormier, executive vice president of Red Hat, pointed out in a speech that the number of paid Red Hat Enterprise Linux users had exceeded 2.5 million. Therefore, with the number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux users, the total number of Fedora users of the entire Red Hat Linux distribution is as high as 13 million.
