许许多多不同的人——事实上有数百万！您可以在总览页上看到一些值得注意的例子。
Fedora 15 (Lovelock)
Lovelock 已经在 2011年5月24日正式发布。 (Pithiness coming soon.)

Anyone who tells you otherwise may be misinformed, dishonest, or trying to sell you something.
The numbers above do not represent a total user count for Fedora. We are counting IP addresses because that is the only thing we can reliably measure. OEM shipping numbers, application popularity contests, and other "estimates" all have intrinsic error factors as well. Without a 1:1 sales figure or registration process, user counting is a difficult problem to solve. Our accuracy section below has a discussion of what's wrong with IP number counts, too.
When you hear someone estimate a count of users, the right questions to ask are:
- Precisely how did you arrive at this number?
- For Fedora the answers are located at this page.
- Where is the data located, so someone can duplicate the process?
- Although you do need appropriate access to our logging hosts to gather the data, our Infrastructure team does welcome people who want to participate in their work.
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.
Why is the Fedora 8 count so high?
We believe this is due to the high concentration of Fedora 8 images on Amazon EC2. We may see additional changes with Fedora 14 and later as that release is expected to be available on EC2 on release day.
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. This table shows downloads only through trackers connected to the official torrent server.
| Downloads from bittorrent (as of 2011-04-12) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sulphur (F9) | Cambridge (F10) | Leonidas (F11)[1] | Constantine (F12) | Goddard (F13) | Laughlin (F14) |
| 443,932 | 523,776 | 364,808 | 315,349 | 158,570 | 157,251 |
| NOTE: these numbers seem incomplete and need to be checked against torrent records. --pfrields 11:35, 13 April 2011 (UTC) | |||||
- ↑ 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 (F10: 306,696, F11: 169,832).
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 (includes a count of DVD, Live, CD disc 1, and netinst ISOs downloaded directly from the web) | ||||
