Revision as of 16:30, 3 January 2010
This page contains a variety of statistics about Fedora's usage. The Fedora Project believes that metrics are an important tool.
Who uses Fedora?
Lots of different people. Millions, in fact -- many millions! You can see some notable examples on the Overview page.
Fedora 12 (Constantine)
Constantine unified starting on 2009-11-17.
Yum Data

It's uncertain whether the old method used for Fedora 9 and previous releases was properly counting all unique IPs. The new method works incrementally, and thus takes longer, but should be slightly more accurate.
Accuracy of metrics
The numbers above for yum represent unique IP addresses that reach our update server, not simply downloads. We believe it is reasonable to equate a "new IP address checking in" with "a new installation of Fedora", with the following caveats:
- Users who have dynamic IP addresses will likely be counted multiple times, which inflates the number by some amount.
- Users who are behind NAT or corporate proxies will not be counted at all.
The anecdotal evidence that we receive from different groups, companies, and organizations suggests that group (2) is significantly larger than group (1). As such, we believe that the true numbers in the field are higher than the numbers on this page.
For a more thorough discussion and enlightening information about the measurement of Fedora's userbase, refer to this blog entry by Jef Spaleta.
Smolt Data
Smolt is Fedora's hardware profiling project. It is an opt-in database that tracks unique installations of Fedora, and various details about that install. People who install to runlevel 5 will be able to opt-in during firstboot, but people who install to runlevel 3 will have to install the smolt client via yum and manually register.
BitTorrent
The following table shows the number of downloads that have been made over BitTorrent.
| Downloads from bittorrent (as of 2009-12-08) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulphur (F9) | Cambridge (F10) | Leonidas (F11)[1] | Constantine (F12) |
| 443,932 | 512,007 | 343,474 | 78,999 |
- ↑ The statistics for BitTorrent were interrupted on or about 2009-09-04 Fedora 11 because of a torrent server reset. Totals at that time are added to the current totals.
Direct Download
The following table shows the number of direct downloads of Fedora 41 media from unique IP addresses, as shown in the web proxy logs. The actual number of raw downloads tends to be much higher.
| Direct downloads from the web | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Week | Dates | Downloads this week | Total downloads |
| Week 1 | 2009-11-17 -- 2009-11-23 | 154,804 | 154,804 |
| Week 2 | 2009-11-24 -- 2009-11-30 | 84,372 | 239,176 |
| Week 3 | 2009-12-01 -- 2009-12-07 | 68,829 | 308,005 |
| Week 4 | 2009-12-08 -- 2009-12-14 | 61,611 | 369,616 |
| Week 5 | 2009-12-15 -- 2009-12-21 | 56,961 | 426,577 |
