Will Ubuntu be #1 tomorrow?
Friday, April 1, 2005
I must confess I am a sucker for statistics and numbers, and so it doesn’t come as a surprise that I check the Distrowatch main page, to see how Ubuntu has been doing in the Page Hit Ranking counter in the right column of the page. It is second only to Mandrake (over a 6 month window), and the gap is narrowing fast. Heck it has hardly been 6 months since the first release of Ubuntu in October last year, and ithas already generated more interest in the time it has been around than some other distros that have been around for a long time.
Will tomorrow be the day it finally climbs to #1 on that chart?
Update: The numbers are MandrakeLinux 1505, and Ubuntu 1504. So close. Tomorrow will be the day, then.
