I want to find a statistical table of the linux Operating system where
it follows the following prerequisites:
1) The statistic must be the earliest from Late 2003
2) It should cover the world population
3) It should be not only from the server side, but of all the
computers in general (servers,workstations,pc's,home,office)
4) The statistic should be about Linux in general, not as a distribution
(i.e Windows OS 80% share, Linux distribution 10%, Unix 5%, etc 5%)
5) if the above is unreachable i could be satisfied by a  year-2004 at
least statistic that shows the Linux market share in Web servers.

Here are few links and brief paragraph for each page:
