Hi;

I like Fedora.  I am willing to help anyway I can.  Send me a survey.

This information is easy to obtain, but the answer doesn't lie in
technology, or raw counts.

How much time and money do you have to get the answers you need?  Talk
to a major public opinion polling firm (i.e. One that polls for consumer
products).  They will show you how to design a form to get the most
amount of valid information.  They will show you how to get a truly
representative sample of the Fedora universe, how to statistically
adjust raw data to more accurately reflect Fedora users and how to
conduct verifying surveys.  Since public opinion surveys are a
combination of statistics and the black arts, you need someone with the
skills.  Hence, how much money have you got?
