Webmasters, what percentage of your visitors use Linux?

Your average analysis/statistics program will tell you this, as you can see, 17.98% of visitors to my blog (http://mbhoy.com) use Linux.

And, my blog has made it to the front page of Digg before (1400+ diggs), so 17.98% equals a rather pleasingly large number. :)

no clue, I don't track stats.

The OS and browser stats for my blog:

I get a lot of traffic from here, and my site is XHTML served as application/xml+xhtml (which means that IE chokes on it), so my numbers are skewed. :p

[aysiu]

chickengirl, your site has a majority of Linux visitors (by a hair). Can I ask what the main content on your site is?

Of course, this assumes that the vistor's browser isn't lying to you... ;)

it's just my personal blog, really. I don't get a terribly large amount of traffic, and IP stats suggests that about 1/3 of it is from me. :p (I'm not that obsessive, honest... I think...)

62% is pretty low considering the content of the forum. :o

I've got 2.3% Linux on my music related site. 3% Mac, the rest is Windows.

62% is pretty low considering the content of the forum. :o

Well, I for one visit this forum from my work where I use Windows XP, but at home I use (almost) only Ubuntu. I'm wondering how will the percentage change in weekend (I read that Firefox has more users in Europe during weekends).

62% is pretty low considering the content of the forum. :o

So it might initially seem until you consider other factors which might influence the stats.

My example for instance. At home all my pc's are Linux. However I'm currently replying to this during my lunchbreak at work ...and I'm using XP.

:cool:

I used to have a site, and recieved 100% Windows Traffic :(
