Not only is GNU/Linux dominating web sites, it is running a lot of routers, DNS, DHCP servers and other gadgets that make it all work. In Netcraft’s latest Web-hosting survey, of 42 hosters:
- 28 run GNU/Linux
- 7 run FreeBSD and
- only 5 run M$’s OS.
In the Web Server Survey for May, only 11% of active sites run M$’s server.
It really matters when M$ must compete on price/performance. In 2013 competition is returning to desktop PCs as well. M$ still gets onto more than half of legacy PCs. It will be a great day when they will be burdening only 11% of desktops.
You meant to say “Triumph of Linux on the Web.” There is no such thing as GNU/Linux except in the imagination of butthurt whiners like RMS.
Having a link to the previous blog post and to the next one was nice.[1]
That is missing in the new iteration.

Sounds like Mr. Pogson is a fan of “Triumph of the Will”. Why doesn’t that surprise me?
The 2012 Internet Census did a port scan of all IPv4 addresses and ports:

There are about 6TB of data but looking at the summaries, it looks like Linux (GNU or other) is very well represented in the network appliance department.
