If you honestly feel someone is intentionally stacking the Smolt results... well, I don't know what to say. It is 250000 actively reporting machines. I've heard the following reasons why a Centaur or similar CPU class may be reported low: - Hey, we use a non-GUI server! - Hey, we're LTSP! - Hey, we didn't run the firstboot client! These reasons all apply to other x86 vendor's server boxes just as much - an LTSP client could be an Atom box, or an old Celeron. x86 servers... heck, they're a lot more likely to be a recent rackmountable Xeon. Hey, if you want to take a full sample of the non-XO Fedora userbase, FAS exists right now (although, given the reasons people sign up for FAS accounts, that's unlikely to be *that* representative of the userbase as a whole.) I've still got $100 to the charity of your choice that those numbers for non-Intel/AMD x86 boxes are correct within an order of magnitude.
