Counting the roots of growth: BSD vs Linux vs Solaris
,----[ Quote ]
| The answer is that we simply don’t know. There are two main reasons, one
| obvious, the other rather subtle in the way it works out. The obvious problem
| is that some portion, and probably a majority portion at that, of Linux
| installs simply don’t show up in anybody’s hardware or license sales columns
| and are therefore impossible to count accurately.
|
| The corolary problem is that the OpenSolaris community is quite young
| relative to Linux and that growth rates in downloads cannot, therefore, be
| fairly compared - and there’s no evidence either way for the assumption that
| more Linux downloads go to mere tire kickers than do Solaris downloads.
