IDC report about Linux distributions

[Daniel Robitaille]

In this online article  about Mandriva:
http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS2822250901.html

we can find this quote:
"...referring to a recent IDC report showing Mandriva as the No.
3-ranked distributor of Linux worldwide, behind Red Hat and SUSE with
between 6 million and 8 million users, according to the CRN story."


So I guess Ubuntu is at least 4th in the world according to that report :)


I suspect this is the IDC report that the article refers to:

http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=34390
" Worldwide Linux Operating Environments 2005-2009 Forecast and
Analysis: Product Transitions Continue"

But I don't have the $4,500 to buy it and read it myself...
