Hi,

I agree this would be very enlightening. Is this info available only internally at Novell? are statistics posted on the site somewhere?

thanks.

In 10.1 suseRegister was introduced. I was wondering if there's any chance that the community could get access to some of the resulting statistics, or are these very secret?

How many registered installations? How do these spread across different timezones/countries? What kind of hardware do people install on? How many use 64bit for example.

I'm very curious to know some of these things. Linux is lacking more or less reliable numbers about the user base. Although I'm sure many users reinstalled 10.1 many times, inflating the stats, these numbers would be very interesting. And of course a comparison with 10.2 numbers would be even more interesting when the time comes.
