Peter,
RedHat 9 is still the most popular, with RHEL Linux a close second. Debian
and Solaris are used at sites. People are still undecided, but Scientific
Linux is gaining some interest, as is SUSE because they give a free copy
pervious release away with updates.

Durham, Cambridge, Cardiff, plus another 30ish if the last 2004 download
stats I have are correct (about as many as Debian for instance). The
important point is that these tend to be for sites, not just personal
installation.
