"How do you even detect Fedora to say it has 8.4 M requests to your servers here when no browser on Fedora includes something that could identify Fedora in their user agent?

E.g.
Midori UA-String in Fedora 20 is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.133 Safari/538.1 Midori/0.5
 
Firefox's one is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0"

my reply 
"Here are two UA strings with Fedora in it that occurred most on one recent day:

70 (x 1000) times: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko Fedora/1.9.2.9-1.el5 en-us;en;q=0.5 - 
26 (x 1000) times: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-AR; rv:1.9.2.23) Gecko/20110930 Fedora/3.6.23-1.fc14 Firefox/3.6.23 es-ar;es;q=0.8;en-us;q=0.5;en;q=0.3 -"

R. Luik:
"Well those look like ancient versions of Firefox 3.6.
 
If you aren't counting the newer releases (which seems impossible by the UA-Strings I sent you) the Linux stats breakdown is pointless. :/
 
Mozilla seems to have removed the info from the UA-String in newer versions, (and Ubuntu for example seems to re-pack Firefox to add "Ubuntu" back to it) so e.g. you end up reporting Ubuntu as having more popularity when in reality the detection process is flawed for other distro(s)."
