Here's hypervisor vs. kernel. I don't know if it's at all useful, since
we have a meta-package, but here it is. I think this is all downloads
ever, and it's not summarized. Also, the totals don't help, as we break
the modules out. Sorry.<br>

"Sorting
them out and ignoring the modules, the xen0 kernels have been <br>
downloaded
19,339 times and the xenU kernels have been downloaded 13,689 <br>
times. Sorry,
that should be "requested", not downloaded. The logs <br>
don't list the number
of times that the download was aborted for one <br>
reason or another. The
chances are that the high numbers would not <br>
square completely with the
bandwidth use for that reason."<br>
<br>
An interesting note, the kernel source
<br>
(/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.6.11_2.6.11-7_all.deb) has been
<br>
downloaded 330 times, and we never told people we kept that there...<br>
