Asturix 4: around the world in… two days

One of the great virtues of Asturix has always been the global vision of users of information systems. Thus, when the innovative Asturix 3 gave the leap into the world with its own personality came to be in the world ranking number 6 in Distrowatch popularity.

Today, January 13, 2011 and only three days of being officially launched the new version Asturix 4 is in the position 8 of the Distrowatch list to seven days, and up, which indicates that the expectations can even be improved. But not only that, in a previous blog post we talked about the huge number of downloads were occurring Asturix 3 despite the release was a year in the market and there was no significant news or publicity about it. Well, in just two days, the 10 and 11 of this month of January 2011 there have been 4657 downloads since 2230 cities in 118 countries, i.e. more in just two days that during all the month of December preceding. It is important to note that in addition to the large presence of European countries (significant rise in Germany, Italy and the UK) and America (sharp rise in the U.S., Mexico, Argentina and Brazil), the new statistics show strong presence in two continents: Asia (Beijing, Mumbai, Singapore, Colombo, Xi’an, Surabaya, Manila, Bangalore, Calcutta,…) and Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Wellington, Auckland,…).

Therefore, the forecasts we made to reach 20,000 downloads this January does not seem far-fetched but quite the opposite.

All thanks to the thousands of people throughout the world support the project both as collaborators in the development and users who contribute their ideas of experience with the system.

Also is very important the new download service in super server we have thank to the sponsorship of OVH and the aftershocks RedIRIS service.

This enormous popular support is a big boost to Asturix Dev Team to keep working hard and continue to innovate to achieve an operating system increasingly efficient and friendly.
