Big Gains for Fedora in Web Hosting

Posted by timothy on from the it's-the-eye-shade-power dept.

1sockchuck writes "Fedora is the fastest-growing Linux distribution for web sites, according to new data from Netcraft on the popularity of Linux distros. Red Hat continues to be the most widely-used distro, running twice as many sites as Debian. 'Red Hat seems to have the best of both worlds at the moment: market-leading status for Red Hat Linux, plus the fastest-growing community distribution in Fedora,' the analysis notes."

    But nobody wants to run a negro-OS on a server. People get the impression that it'll just sit around waiting for donated CPU-time, kill fellow Ubuntu boxen for no rational reason at all, or rape its child processes in the belief it'll protect against viruses.

    "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others".

    WTF is an "African" word? Do I speak "European"? Is it something like those funny made-up names that American negroes choose to call themselves, because they think they sound "African"? "Condoleeza"? "Kwanzaa"?
