[SLL] informal results

[Glenn Stone]

OK, thanks everybody, and you did prove my point.  

Debian was the Numba One Ansah (/richard_dawson) for server OS'en, followed
semi-closely by various Red Hattery.  There were a few Ubuntites but most
were relegating Mr. Shuttleworth to the desktop... and SUSE was dead last,
at three out of 27 and only one really happy about it.  There was a
noticeable trend towards wanting to get to Debian if not already there, too.

On the "won't run" side, SUSE took the dubious honors, most citing the
Novell deal with Microsoft, some just didn't like YAST or anything RPMish.
There were a few folks who did NOT want to run Deb; most of those were
running FCx or RHEL.  

Interestingly enough, there were a lot more folks running Fedora than I
thought there would be, with an OS that has an 11-month lifespan... but two
of them work directly for Red Hat, so that's not as surprising as it could
be.  

But, yes, I was right, despite all the hoo-rah over Debian being perenially
behind the times, it's pretty darn popular server side, and Novell's
popularity has summarily *tanked* with the rank and file.  

Thus endeth the survey geekery for the day.  :)
