No.

Heh, now I know you're only joking, but still no.
Distrowatch only counts hits on it's own site, not any
other site.

What is interesting I think, apart from the fact that
Ubuntu has been #1 over the last 6 months, is that if
you take a look at the top 2, they are essentially
end-user systems, Fedora too to a lesser extent (in so
much as many developers probably use it too where
Mandrake is clearly an ease of use system rather than
a developers system), but I think this represents
starkly the fact that Linux is heavily used by
non-developers. I think it's interesting to see how
the Linux using demographic has changed over the last
2 or 3 years. I think the leading distros have handled
it well, it could have been a heavy burden.
