Posted on Facebook. Cool animation of DistroWatch's HPD over the last almost 20 years, so a good index of curiosity and interest in MX.

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.

don't feed the trolls!
personally when folks mention the bot net, I say something like ..."that reminds me, time to feed the bots".

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?

Lol, Jerry's comment was pretty much like:

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.

Did anyone else notice the short sprint Mepis had half way up the list?
