I expect they do the same kind of file de-duplication that other similar services (e.g. dropbox) do. So if you and I both store the same PDF they only hold one copy on the backend until everyone deletes every copy of it.

[ubuntu-uk] Most used version of Ubuntu
Hello Everyone, Is there somewhere that contains data to accurately determine which version of Ubuntu is mostly used? A league table or something? Best Regards, Dave Hanson -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Almost no accurate figures of how many people get a CD from a friend or other contact. And so on. Sometimes there are online surveys and I suppose LoCos could survey their members - but these are not very representative of all users. Why do you ask?

Tony -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ Ah, I see - Thanks Tony. I'm doing a forensic analysis on Ubuntu and Firefox 6, I need to justify what version of Ubuntu I am using. At the minute I'm going for 11.04 as I think it is the most recently released usable and stable version. I thought if I has a list of who uses what I could then write Ubuntu 10.04 has been chosen as it is the most popular version in use at the time of writing Best Regards, Dave Hanson -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
