Definitely meteoric. The botnet comment was hilarious. Some people just can't believe what a superior effort can achieve. And maybe a bit of good timing. Thanks for replying.

It might, depending on how one defines popularity. Something seems to be generating a lot of page hits, and it isn't me. Is there a theory?

Ubuntu did pretty much the same thing in 2004--but they mailed anyone a free CD upon request, too. Plus they were good for beginners.
