Ubuntu in the OSDL Desktop linux survey

[Eric Dunbar]

Hmm. This seems like a discussion that should be on sounder, not one
of the "real" lists.

How common is Konqueror really? In all my years of seeing people use
computers, and now Linux, I can honestly say that I've _never_ seen
someone else use Konq. Plus, the few times I've tried Konq I've found
it to be unsatisfactory vs. Mozilla, Opera or (now) FireFox.

PS I took a look at the Webalizer logs for my web site and couldn't
find evidence of konqueror visits since January/05 (though, I did find
one neat UA... BlackBerry7250/4.0.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0
Configuration/CLDC-1.1).
