"A few months back, LXer reader, cyber_rigger, began compiling a list of vendors who offer GNU/Linux pre-installed. The list quickly grew, even drawing attention from other news outlets. Meanwhile, the LXer team went to work to produce a usable database that anyone can browse and search. We still have one or two features to implement, but users can quickly and easily browse the Pre-Installed Linux Vendor Database of 106 vendors. All vendors in the list offer reasonably-priced desktops and/or notebooks for home and office users, and either offer Linux only, or as an installation option on the system configuration page of their sites."

You are kind of thick.
No, I just don't like having my words twisted.
The original claim was that 5 out of 10 of the MOST RELIABLE hosting companies use Linux. Windows/IIS DOES NOT EVEN APPEAR on the list, Also, the top 49 most reliable hosting sites list is dominated by Linux. I'm not saying that some companies in that list don't have lots of Parked Domians, that is not the issue here. Netcraft is testing the failure rate of the comanies MAIN WEBSITE. Not the hosted domains. Try to get that into your thick skull.

Q: How do you make the top 50 hosting companies?
A: You host more domains than every other hosting company.
Actually Netcraft don't say how to make the list, they just say 50 leading webhosts. They are ranked by performance, not number of domains. The Operating System details are per company, not per domain. There is no suggestion that what you've been saying is true.
You are mixing stories, you comments all refer to the Netcraft global hosting data (Which is reputed to be misleading), I'm just talking about the Host performance data.
