Subject: Re: Linux 2.4 usage statistics

Just a note that some "how many" and "which version exactly" data is 
available from [1] which is generated from data users send through a 
cron job with data from nearly 5000 machines reported during the last 
60 days.

When clicking on a version (e.g. "2.4.27") you can also see which of 
them are distribution kernels.

Kinda shocking that 14% of these machines are not running kernel 2.6 ...

Considering how this data is generated it obviously shows only part of 
the picture, and your survey will hopefully bring data what we could do 
for making kernel 2.6 more attractive (not meant against your work, but 
we should aim at bringing users to 2.6).
