is there anyway to have a counter of the number of opensuse downloaded?
Do you mean of SUSE Linux 10.0 distributions downloaded?
yes - you are right, I have difficulties separating the community and the distribution :-)
Christoph should be able to get a count from what has been downloaded via download.opensuse.org. Michael might have some more statistics. For what do you need these?
Sure, I have the logs of download.openSUSE.org -- but I don't really trust those statistics, because they are most likely inaccurate. The only way to get hard facts would be to ask *all* SUSE / openSUSE mirrors to come up with their logs + add the BT stats... we used some heuristics and YOU stats to "count" the number of running / installed SUSE Linux'es, but even those numbers might be quite inexact ;) Anyway, do you really think we need those kind of numbers (presumably live?) to impress people? IMHO having something like... "downloaded more than <somebignumber>" would be sufficient. Regards Christoph
