"Ubuntu has in excess of 25% of the Linux desktop market which
compares to number two SUSE with 11.4% of the market."
(not sure where these numbers come from)

Impressive numbers considering the first release was less than 18 months ago.

Another Ubuntu-releated quote:
"All in all, Ubuntu does an exceptional job replacing UNIX
workstations and has a superior desktop. It fits mid-level desktop
users and works for about 80 to 90% of enterprise users."
