the article use Google Trend to measure, during the period 2004 - 2008.
the article quotes this guy's theory "On the Web, If You're Not
Growing, You're Dying"

it shows Debian, Redhat, Fedora, Suse, OpenSuse,
Slackware  declining.

but Ubuntu grows a lot.

the last graph shows  the term ubuntu has become almost as
popular as Linux.

I did a Google Trend search with all of these "debian, redhat, fedora,
slackware, suse, opensuse , ubuntu"
http://www.google.com/trends?q=debian%2C+redhat%2C+fedora%2C+slackware%2C+suse%2C+opensuse+%2C+ubuntu&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1

but Google Trend seems to have limitation of 5 terms.

In India  (at least per Google Trends), Red hat and Fedora rules.
