Does this include all the people that downloaded it from FTP sites etc or just 
the purchased copies (Redhat etc)? If so how did they calculate it? I bought my 
copy of Mandrake 6.0 from Everything Linux for $5, were ripped copies included? 
I think the figures would be alot higher if those were counted as well, but I 
don't see how they would be.

I would like a copy of the PDF if you wouldn't mind. Even better would be a 
URL/ftp site to download it from.

BTW Has anyone read the three/four articles about linux in the latest Corporate 
IT mag? One was about International Trucks going to linux on most(all?) of 
their
servers.
