It also offers a regular installation CD set or DVD image. When I meant RPM is passe I was implying it from the fact tthat ubuntu has eaten over the share of both fedora and opensuse(for a diff reason ) . Fedora started it's spin projects and even started giving the project a new look only after it realised the stiff competition from Ubuntu . > This > is for x86, x86_64 and PPC systems and free media has been send all over > the world as well. I dunno about others .. but as a small community maintainer .

Well M$ does such surveys .. yeah they win and they proclaim that they rule the netbook market . As far as I know almost all of them have shifted for a ubuntu netbook version after erasing the windows ..
