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. | The anecdotal evidence that we receive from different groups, companies, and organizations suggests that group (2) is significantly larger than group (1).

Fedora 9 (Sulphur)
Sulphur was released on 2008-05-13.
Draft statistics scratch page .
Yum Data
| Connections to yum | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week | Dates | New Unique IPs | Total Unique IPs | Total compared to Werewolf |
| Week 1 | 2008-05-13 -- 2008-05-19 | 91,847 | 91,847 | 114% |
| Week 2 | 2008-05-20 -- 2008-05-26 | 61,415 | 153,262 | 103% |
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.
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 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bordeaux (FC5) | Zod (FC6) | Moonshine (F7) | Werewolf (F8) | Sulphur (F9) |
| 238,320 | 308,956 | 268,025 | 338,546 | soon |
