Red Hat takes the lead


After two months in the Number One position in Tucows downloads (measured in MB), Mandrake yielded the lead to the Red Hat, which more than doubled, from 15 to 33% of the total share, edging out Mandrake's 31%. Number 3 Corel returned up to its February level at 13%. Number four Phat Linux dropped half its shares in one month, from 10% to 5%. Debian also continued to drop, from 6% in February to 3% in April. SUSE, FreeBSD nd Slackware were each tied and holding about even at 3%. Caldera continued dropping, to just 2%. Everybody else held even at 1% or less. (Note: While February and March were full months, April was tabulated through the first 25 days.)
