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.

Do we want that? If we agree it's important I'm sure we can put desktop specific updates online for the sake of counting :)

Greetings, Stephan

Frankly, even that would be misleading.  I use GNOME but as a matter of practice, I install both KDE and GNOME when I set up my machines.  While I don't use KDE, I do still get and download KDE updates whenever available.  And don't get me started on whether unique IPs is an accurate count either, although it's probably the best metric we can come up with.

Only trust the statistics you make up yourself. ;-) Yes, it'd be misleading, but it'd be closer to reality than not, and more data than we have currently. I'd be in favor of that + implementing the Popcon feature + being a little more emphatic about collecting Smolt data. The more information we have about installed packages, etc., the better to make decisions.

I think it would be more interesting to know how many have just one DE versus multiple DE's.

Count me in there. I install multiple DE's on most machines as a matter of course. This machine has KDE 4.3 and GNOME and Xfce. My laptop for travel has KDE & GNOME. My netbook has (right now) Moblin.
