Basically, clients need to be aware that making a web2.0 site has it's costs, it's a bandwagon that some view with suspicious eyes. It will cost more money to make their site interactive and customisable and by extension it will cost more. But some original ideas can help establish a brand and convey a sense of fresh thinking, renewing any image the company had previously. The road to web2.0 success is a long and winding one with many competitors falling at the side of the road, but if executed correctly, a web2.0 site can really help their aims. Provided web3.0 doesn't come too quickly (joke).
Shopping for ugg boots online these days can be a pretty confusing task. There are ugg boots sale from UGG Australia, Australian ugg australia, ugg boots “made in ugg australia”, off-brands, knock-offs, and “fake” Ugg, just to get started. Worse than the confusion over brand or manufacturing differences though is trying to sort through the online landscape to find someplace to purchase your uggs without them sending you fakes or even just ripping off your credit card information. Every year people are taken in by websites claiming to sell “real uggs made in Australia” or something similar. Don’t believe me? bailey button ugg boots classic tall ugg boots classic short ugg boots classic cardy ugg boots classic mini ugg boots metallic ugg boots nightfall ugg boots sundance ii ugg boots ultra tall ugg boots ultra short ugg boots metallic ugg boots Just do a search in Google for “uggs complaint” and look at what’s out there. Everything from simple misunderstandings about a brand to people who make their orders and never get their products, only to find the offending websites gone after the season never to be heard from again. Shopping online is hard enough without throwing in the temptations of easy money from something as popular as cheap ugg boots . The fact that most ugg boots related fraud takes place around the holidays, taking advantage of peoples gift-giving good will, only makes it worse. How can you tell if a site is trustworthy or not? In the next few pages we are going to show you exactly that.
Everything will be all right,I am behind you.
You ve got a point there.You said is right. I believe that to be completed.

The ugg bailey button boots change is the law of life . and those who look only to the ugg boots past or the present are certain to miss the future. How we spend our day is, of course, how we spend our lives . a man is not old as long as he is seeking something ugg classic cardy . An man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams . Loves one ugg classic tall art no service seems too hard . I can live for two months on a good compliment the two ugg classic short keep in their downward. http://www.uggssalestore.com

The title of the post was "PCLinuxOS gaining more popularity than Ubuntu?" - a question to which I would discuss the answer. The important word is "popularity". Popularity doesn't mean "more people are using PCLOS than Ubuntu" because that doesn't tell the whole story; people talking/reading about it counts.
it's good.

Here is my theory:

Ubuntu - a geek hobbyist distribution - Users - geek hobbyists

PClinuxOS - a Windows migrant distribution - Users - Windows migrants

No. of Windows migrants that log onto Distrowatch > No. of geek hobbyists that log onto Distrowatch

So now hits on PCLinuxOS webpage at Distrowatch > hits on Ubuntu webpage at Distrowatch - hence the result you see on the Distrowatch chart.

No one is tampering with anything (but I wish I have some data to back that up).


PCLOS users are evangelical, pushing their distro to holywars - ’nuff said. The first page of their forums has an "I’m leaving" post from a 1k+ post member who dared mention mandriva and got his thread canned - part of their dogma. I see multiple complaints about heavyhanded moderation, and an implicit acceptance that the forum is for promotion, not discussion. All criticism blogs get mobbed by supporters, all polls get overwhelmed.

The above paragraph has nothing whatsoever to do with whether it’s a good distro or not - a question which I would need a few weeks to decide on.

My question - can’t I put my distro on top of the distrowatch charts automatically by simply making it the default firefox homepage on my install? I suspect the distrowatch site is the victim of a voluntary campaign, like the other polls - just need to set it as a homepage and you’ve got a few hundred hits from supporters every single day. This has resulted in distrowatch causing, rather than indicating, a decent chunk of popularity; People like me looking to take a dip into the FLOSS pool just pick the top name on the list, or whatever they’ve heard people scream about.

Something like distrowatch is not sufficiently large to be a good metric for comparison when this kind of loyalty exists anywhere in the linux community, from anyone.
this is just plain sad. you guys have too much time on your hands, you would probably find something similar if you searched the whole ubuntu forum database, so don’t tell me that it has NEVER happened as I just don’t believe it hasn’t. You get idiots in all walks of life and in every distro, once it’s found its took off, whats your problem.

Get a life, grow up, learn to code and put your time to making a distro better.

If this kind of thing carry’s on I swear i’ll go buy vista out of protest and tell everyone to do the same, new commers take on linux when I mention it to them is that it is full of scholl children fighting.

Someone is tring to put fences up, MS can’t outcode us, can’t out perform us, can’t sue us so whats left, start an internal war and watch them eat each other alive.
Up here in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve laid plenty of traps for the Penguins to gnaw their own arms off in order to get out of. So, your latest infighting is whether or not you have a Texas Penguin or a South African Penguin? We don’t even have to throw your dirty birds out of our MSWindows to show you that Penguins don’t fly. I’m gonna send this URL to everybody on my Kontact list.

Roots in Debian? Roots in Mandriva? God Almighty! Even the "Linux-Lovers" will rip apart if it means they get more blog page-hits. Just go here: http://n.ethz.ch/student/mkos/pinguin.swf if you wanna help us bash Linux.

DistroWatch or Google as a valid barometer? No wonder your Old Mens OS is a distant third. You may as well check if PCLinux or Ubuntu has as many videos or page views on their YouTube.com fanboy numbers; that would prob be more accurate and just as scientific as those nerd sites and their esoteric surveys.

Heres a clue: There are not too many distros for young people, only Old Farts think that. There once was, when you had to install everything. Nowadays the "LiveCD" has delivered you from all that partitioning and installation and young tinkerers can trade them like baseball cards.

Heres a clue: People who work for a living and kids in school don’t care about whether their OS has a Texas/Mandriva Mommy or a African/Debian Daddy. Little Timmy just wants to play KHangman, Jenny wants look up the 1st Amendment on WikiPedia while hiding Kopete in a back window, and Grandpa is playing Frozen Bubble on Level 60.

Heres a clue: standout names like Ubuntu, Mandriva, and Tupac are not something that you hear everyday; yet at least one of them has been dead for a while. PCLinuxOS is a too-plain, corny name and PCLOS is a dumb acronym. Thats why either people don’t remember the name, but most people just call that particular distro "Linux" when they’re telling someone about it; trying to describe its spinning-cube, KDE Beryl NVidia sweetness.

From the looks of some of these blogs on devisive topics with buzz-word hyperbole headlines, PCLinux isn’t the only one concerned with page hits. Linux will be broken up into factions long before M$ will, and according to most judges, M$ is an illegal monopoly. Divide, and conquer... Now, if we could only get a Granny Smith or Red Delicious distro/faction/clique to help us bring down Macintosh OS.
When I hear of Geeks trying to do Voo-Doo arithmetic by putting names in Google, it makes me sad. I don’t have to do a virtual search. I don’t have to look far, either.

Ever heard of Edubuntu? Me, too; but the multi-district accelerated-learning ACE classroom that I know of uses Windows on half and PCLOS on the other half. They simply won’t renew the Windows license by attrition.

Ever heard of the Christian Ubuntu? Yeah , Well, the Baptist churches’ computer room down the street uses PCLOS exclusively. The same goes for the Boy Scouts computer room; PCLOS only.

See, its not just not-for-profit orgs that don’t want to pay licen$ure fees o Redmond. I know of a few teenagers who visited MySpace one too many times and caught too many bugs for their Windows to work. Those kids are now using PCLOS and don’t have their root password; Daddy does.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE OTHER POSTERS that this demographic has been ignored or THEY have ignored Geekfests like DistroWatch. They only way for them to do a Nerd survey is to put said survey on FaceBook, YouTube, or a family geneology website.

THESE FOLKS DON’T EVEN call the OS PCLOS, they call it "Linux" or "The Computer". They have never heard of DistroWatch, OS Surveys, or Gnome. They do not go down to the Church and search out PCLinux or Ubuntu on friggin’ Google, and you know that. They’re down there downloading Gospel w/ FrostWire for Choir practice, or using OOo to get the newsletter out.

PCLOS works right out of the box; even for the quarterback of the football team and the Capt of the cheerleading squad. You simply don’t have to know how to use a terminal to use, and/or love PCLinux. Why does that make you guys so angry?
After being a Winblows user for a decade or so, I decided to check out Linux. Now, three years and about 80 distros later (Including Ubuntu), I find that PCLinuxOS is the most stable flavor of Linux that I have tried so far. It just works!

I also believe that different OS’s are useful for different applications. I still use the "other" proprietary operating system for certain things. My university, for example, requires me to use M$ Accounting Software. This program cannot be run under any other operating system. Another example: for my business I run a Win Server (mainly for .Net functionality and stability).

As much as I like PCLinuxOS, I refuse to participate in silly little polls that carry the potential to be tainted (like the U.S. election process). The polls don’t mean ANYTHING. Use what you like. Don’t divide the Linux community; that is exactly what M$ likes to see.
Get a grip. Everyone knows that PCLOS fanboys are inflating distrowatch.

Desktop linux surveys show that there are more mandriva users than PCLOS users. This is confirmed by the Lenovo linux survey as well.

If TEX wanted to really improve linux. he would merge with mandriva. These 1 man distros are nothing but pure ego-stroking hubris.
Monkey see, Monkey do over at PCLos forums! :-)

If you think PCLinuxOS is the best distribution of 2006, make sure you vote for it in the LinuxQuestions.org 2006 Member’s Choice Poll. There are many other areas for voting as well.

Enjoy!

@ devnel AKA Thanks!

Of course they were removed as we can no longer see them... but.... they were there and I was just responding to your message earlier as well as backing up what I said in my original post. That post was on the pclinuxos.com forums for at least 5 days too.

Now does anyone have links to other so called "Polls" that reflect popularity of a certain Linux Distro?

I should go and put my vote in... :)

Also to note I like the movement of SabayonLinux on Distrowatch. There’s a distro worth looking at...

@jips

As I said, the thread was removed when found by moderators and administrators.

There was more than one thread posted and all were removed. Thanks for solidifying my point...we can’t prevent users from posting stuff like this but we can remove it when we find it...which is the policy at pclinuxos.com :) As most moderators are stateside we sometimes miss things posted in the overnight hour but I can guarantee that they are removed ASAP.

Maybe this post was removed but it did exist as I saw it.. It was a play by play of watching the vote counter go up at reviewlinux.com for PCLinuxPS.. :) It happened.. :)

All my 2 cents was saying that an organized group can very easily manipulate any poll vote clicks on baners and/or page counts.. to reflect whatever they want.

I am in no way saying anything negative about PCLinuxOS but just sharing my thoughts on how polls and page counters can basically show a untrue measure of popularity.. :)

Hi. I just tried a google trends search of sam (a derivative of
pclinuxos) and sam. Sam came out way above pclinuxos. So I don’t
know whether google trends can prove much.
Does it really matter that distro A is more popular than distro B,C and D? Shouldn’t we be focusing on getting Linux to be popular and a household name rather than bickering with this sort of schoolyard nonsense? If we all put our petty fanboyism’s aside and championed Linux as a whole people would take us seriously. We are getting there, Dell, Levono and Acer now offer Linux installed equipment not to mention all the servers out there. Please let’s not have these kind of useless debates that Windows fanboys use as weapons to show that our growing community is just a petty squabbling bunch of spotty anoraks.

My 2 pennies worth...
Maybe Ubuntu user are looking for another distro, and they accessed in mass the PCLOS page on distrowatch.

Sorry my friend...you’ll never get that in PCLinuxOS Forums. It’s against the rules to post links to any popularity polls...that included the recent DesktopLinux poll. Those posts are removed the moment a moderator or admin finds it per Texstar’s policy.

How do I know? I’m an admin over at pclinuxos.com :) You’ll never see it happen.

"Whereas a steady and confident Ubuntu user could care less about adding his/her vote to a poll."

Nice attempt at generalizing. I’m afraid this is the same for all distros though...not just Ubuntu specific ones. This assumption is based on my experience with Linux communities for 12 years now.

BTW, please don’t accuse or insinuate that distros are doing this when you have no proof that they are.
google:

ubuntu linux 64,500,000 hits

pclinuxos linux 1,760,000 hits

It seems to me that PClinuxOS still is far from being as popular as ubuntu.


Actually if you ever have ventured to the PCLinuxOS forums every once in a while a message will be posted that a new poll is somewhere on a web site and basically you will have alot of PCLinuxOS followers going to that site to add their vote. Well organized group of individuals can drastically inflate a poll to hype up this distro. Whereas a steady and confident Ubuntu user could care less about adding his/her vote to a poll. :)

If you go to a site called reviewlinux.com you will see their totally unscientific poll. Who is leading??

My 2 cents....
google.co.uk/search?q=pclinuxos
vs
google.co.uk/search?q=ubuntu

If you were googling to find out about a distro, look where you’re more likely to end up. You’re about 200 times more likely to click through to distrowatch for PCLOS (and count towards the table stats) then you are for Ubuntu.

You’ve also got the factor of more people knowing what Ubuntu is, so when they pop along to DW to check out what’s on offer and they see this thing called PCLinuxOS at the top of the table, they’re much more likely to click through.

Anyway, I’d be interested to see how the stats panned out if the DW listing position was the same for each query. I think PCLinuxOS would probably be 4th or 5th.

As you say, it’s not a bums-on-seats statistic... It just shows who’s looking at the relative pages on DW. So it’s a valid metric when you use it to talk about pageviews inside DW but a fairly invalid metric for defining which distro has most traction or momentum as plenty of people online seem to be.
