Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Maybe i should ask my question in another part of the forum. It is common to hear left and right that unix users represent around 1% of personal computer users. It may be true for publics like videogamers or secretaries but amongst the web communities i frequent, when there is a survey of the OSes people use linux represent often around 20% of the users.

I am not talking about unix websites of course. But science/tech/computer sites

So, i am curious about the proportion of linux crunchers in BOINC. In term of accounts, machines and credit. If such statistic exists.

I have googled my question but found nothing.

Your best bet would be one of the statistics aggregation sites like BOINCstats. Try this for starters:

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/host/breakdown/os/

Note that most of these sites will just give you cumulative figures to date: it may be harder to spot trends over time.

Thank you, i had forgotten this page. Modest score for linux taking in account these are cumulative stats.
