There should be no way of digital ocean knowing what apps are running on a droplet. If there is, I would be very worried about the privacy concerns this raises.

Back in January, we published a blog post that contained some basic statistics about about the distro and one-click app usage. As far as I know, that basic distribution has more or less held steady.

So ~67% Ubuntu, ~19% CentOS, ~12% Debian, and only ~1% each for both Arch and Fedora.
