Linux Lite 2.4 Download Stats

[Teddy]

It's pretty cool to see this distro start to really take off. Probably the reasoning behind all the mobile downloads is probably because of people discovering the distro somewhere other than their house, and a mobile device (smartphone / tablet) is pretty much the only gateway to the Internet, assuming that they did not bring along a laptop.

The more interesting thing to me is how they are downloading this on a cellular network. Their providers would certainly charge overages considering how much this distro consumes in mobile data. Granted, other distros are much worse in size. Even Ubuntu used to be 700MB a few years back (12.04 LTS), but now, they let it RUN WILD!

Here in the U.S. mobile plans are just a flat-out joke. Almost no companies here offer unlimited data. Verizon Wireless & AT&T Mobility both have discontinued offering mobile plans with unlimited data, and will charge you overages. T-Mobile & Sprint are the only ones that do nowadays (aside from prepaid-only company offerings), and I don't know how long that will last before they decide to revoke it.
