Revision as of 17:50, 17 June 2009

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 11 (Leonidas)

Leonidas roared into life on 2009-06-09.

Yum Data

Current release connections

Week Dates New Unique IPs Total Unique IPs Total compared to Cambridge
Week 1 2009-06-09 -- 2009-06-15 105,748 105,748 156%

Total repository connections

Total connections to repositories (as of 2009-06-01)
Method Fedora 7 Fedora 8 Fedora 9 Fedora 10 Fedora 11 Rawhide TOTAL
Mixed 3,704,840 5,127,379 2,819,133 2,610,382 105,748 732,748 15,100,230
New 3,725,644 5,207.799 2,974,645 2,610,382 105,748 732,748 15,356,966
TOTAL UNIQUE IPs: 13,397,110

It's uncertain whether the old method 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:

  1. Users who have dynamic IP addresses will likely be counted multiple times, which inflates the number by some amount.
  2. 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 2009-06-17)
Sulphur (F9) Cambridge (F10) Leonidas (F11)
440,774 291,183 58,548

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.
