Yes it's hard to know. I expect this is part of the idea behind the recent install statistic gathering that is in / will be in Fedora, to get some hard numbers that can be the start of seeing what the relative popularity is. Maybe it just comes down to some kind of cultural difference.

For example, Ubuntu is all over Digg and Fedora isn't.  GNU stripped
Digg:
"Japanese-American Magician Stuns Girls with Hand-thru-Aquarium Illusion"
I could care less, but not much.

Well if you tune digg to Linux by clicking the arrow on the right of the "Technology" menu and then selecting Linux/Unix, you will see relevant stories, one about Fedora and five with Ubuntu in the title.

If you know little about Linux but try to take the temperature to maybe choose a distro one day, this stuff has an effect. Which is why a splash on Linux Format good, I saw mine in Tescos, plenty of non-Linux users will see the name for the first time because of it.
