    Looking for stats on Linux server market penetration

    I'm looking for stats showing the positives of Linux market penetration in the server market.

    I found this:

    http://news.netcraft.com/archives/we...er_survey.html

    But that only gives me Apache vs. Msft. That is only part of the story, since people can run Apache on a MSFT server (though I'd be interested to know how many people do).
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    Not exactly a market statistic, but we as an organization run around 1600 windows servers and around 1200 *nix servers. Of these, *nix servers, the vast majority are now RedHat, but around 400 Solaris boxes persisting in the mix.

    Generally, if it's public facing it will be *nix, and internal will be windows.

    To my knowledge, we run no Apache on windows boxes at all.

    I'll be putting a site on a Linux server within the next few days. My own site is hosted on a Linux server. So, for me, that's Linux: 2, MSFT: 0.

    Heh. That's interesting, but I'm looking for more industry wide statistics.

    Yeah, I figured that wouldn't be of much use, but Microsoft hate is always worth a mention.
