Desktop Linux survey launches
| Quote: |
DesktopLinux.com launched its 2006 Desktop Linux survey on August 21, asking users of Linux desktops to identify what distributions they use, as well as their choice of windowing environment (KDE, GNOME, etc.), web browsers, email clients, and Windows-on-Linux solutions.
Participants are asked to refrain from promoting or advertising the survey to mailing lists, or encouraging friends or co-workers to vote for specific software, in order to ensure that the survey represents a broad sample of Linux desktop users rather than being used to advance a particular open-source software cause.
As usual, DesktopLinux.com will publish the results of the survey following its conclusion.

This survey does give you the results immediately after voting - I must admit it was interesting to see what the most popular votes are. |

Hmm.... that was interesting. And surprising that Ubuntu made such a strong showing.  |

| The poll only permits you to vote once which is a good thing. |

Results from the 2006 Desktop Linux Survey - Part 1
| Quote: |
The results of DesktopLinux.com's 2006 Desktop Linux Market survey are in, and the votes are all tallied. This first article of a series offers a perspective on how the various desktop Linux distributions fared, and why.
Before jumping into what the survey of almost 15,000 Linux users revealed, though, I should point out a few things.
First, this is in no way, shape, or form a scientific survey. Anyone who wanted to vote could vote. We did make sure that we didn't have a Chicago-style election with multiple votes from one person -- or IP address, anyway -- but that was about it.
We also didn't include some mildly popular choices -- Arch Linux, GNOME's Epiphany Web browser, and the Fluxbox window manager -- in the initial version of survey. Our readers spoke early on, and we added them.
Still, when all is said and done, we do think that our survey does say some interesting things about the current state of desktop Linux. So, without further adieu, here's what we found. (continued) |

It's Really not Surprizing considering it has been at the top for over 18 months. Almost from the day it was released. It is a good Distro. I use the Ubuntu version with Gnome as for me it runs better with Gnome than KDE.
Suse both commercial and Open Source were / are my Favorites but that is starting to change and I am checking out more and more Debian type Distros.
