It might be good to collect a variety of datapoints, not just what desktop is more popular. For example it might be interresting to see who is running hypervisors/virtualization, what external repositories they are using, etc. On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 11:29 AM, Vincent Untz<vuntz@opensuse.org> wrote:

If it doesnt exist already, I think that at least in the next version of OpenSUSE, you should have some sort of part of the install procedure that reports the desktop being used to a centralized database, and finds out how long the installation has been "alive". This at least should happen every time the system does a zypper update. That would allow you to have a more accurate census of how many OpenSUSE boxes exist in the wild and what UI is being utilized.
We do have something like this: http://en.opensuse.org/Statistics
It doesn't report anything on the "which desktop is more popular?" topic, though.
Cheers,
Vincent
