CodingExperiments.com posted an interesting article by utilizing the Google Trends system to show the trends in the Linux ecosystem. While these trends don't mean "market share", they are interesting and pretty accurate in terms of what average users care about. According to it, "Ubuntu" might even overtake the word "linux" in Google's searches.

Some people think Linux IS Ubuntu. Ubuntu is all you hear some people talk about on many technical sites. Many a newb downloads and installs Ubuntu and suddenly thinks he's an expert in Debian Linux. OSnews posts dozens upon dozens of Ubuntu related articles; Digg posts dozens upon dozens of Ubuntu related articles; Gnome-look.org is loaded with Ubuntu specific themes (even when they have nothing to do specifically with Ubuntu they're often posted as for Ubuntu,) etc. Anyone who dares to criticize Ubuntu is ripped to shreds. The point to this? It's obvious to anyone who has anything whatsoever to do with the tech community that Ubuntu is gaining (has gained) momentum. Let's stop posting non-news shall we?
