This page contains a variety of statistics about Fedora's usage. It was last updated on 2007-06-27.

Fedora 7 (Moonshine)
Moonshine was released on 2007-05-31.

Yum Data
28 days have elapsed since we released Moonshine, which is 4 weeks.


 * New registrations per week  (average) -- 75,683
 * New registrations per day   (average) -- 10,811
 * New registrations per minute (average) -- 7.5

Accuracy of metrics
The numbers above for yum represent unique IP addresses that reach our update server, not simple downloads. We believe it is reasonable to equate a "new IP address checking in" with "a new installation of Fedora", with the following caveats:

1. Users who have dynamic IP addresses will likely be counted multiple times, which inflates the number by some amount. 1. Users who are behind NAT, corporate proxies, or who rsync updates to a local mirror before updating will not be counted at all.

The anecdotal evidence that we receive from different groups, companies, and organizations suggests that group (2) is significantly larger than group (1). As such, we believe that the true numbers in the field are higher than the numbers on this page.

Smolt Data
Smolt is Fedora's hardware profiling project. It is an opt-in database that tracks unique installations of Fedora, and various details about that install. People who install to runlevel 5 will be able to opt-in during firstboot, but people who install to runlevel 3 will have to install the smolt client via yum and manually register.

28 days have elapsed since we released Moonshine, which is 4 weeks.


 * New registrations per week  (average) -- 11,047
 * New registrations per day   (average) -- 1,578
