]]> Ever since Google made Google Trends available I’ve been meaning to blog about one of the first searches I typed in. Jack Schofield at the Guardian Technology blog beat me to it at the time. It’s the last link in his article. The trend I meant to blog about is the difference between the Linux distributions Ubuntu and Suse (Jack throws in Fedora for good mesure).
