I hope you've sent your hardware profile via smolt. I'm pretty sure the numbers there are the one people will look at when thinking about where to put the optimization efforts:
Not sure what I'm supposed to do with that site. And, the stats are way off. 19% running 11.1 and 0 running 11.0/i586???? Seems like a lot of people have no idea either. It looks like a Fedora specific site anyway.
With 11.0 we had smolt but very well hidden. With 11.1 everybody is asked to send hw info to smolt. That's why there is such a huge difference between 11.0 and 11.1.
Smolt is at its beginning but it has the power to improve hardware support for Linux in general as its the first place where hw info is displayed publicly based on a very large user base.
Does smolt distinguish between two different computers and two installations (reinstallation, for example) of the same computer? I ask this because I have different scenarios: 1.- say you install openSUSE 11.1 and then you reinstall because you goofed up. Would that count as 1 installation and smolt would not resend the info? Or does smolt count that as 2 different systems and resends the info as if it were a different computer? 2.- Say you were a Fedora user and you added your computer to the smolt statistics. A couple of months later you discover openSUSE, get rid of Fedora never to go back and install openSUSE 11.1. Would that also be counted as a new computer? 3.- What if you have a partition with openSUSE 11.0 from which you've already run smolt and decide to upgrade to 11.1? Is that a new computer added to the smolt statistics? 4.- What if you have 1 partition with openSUSE 11.0 with which you sent all the info to smolt web and you install openSUSE 11.1 on another partition and all the info gets sent back to smolt's web. Is that counted as a new/another different computer? Been looking for the answers to these questions on smolt's web but haven't found it. Maybe looking in the wrong place? Any ideas?
