An interesting google trend here.

A search for redhat, suse, ubuntu on google trends revealed the following:

blue dotredhat   red dotsuse   orange dotubuntu    rh-suse-ubuntu-trend

  Top regions (normalized)    
1. India
 
2. Indonesia
 
3. Hong Kong
 
4. Malaysia
 
5. Singapore
 
6. South Korea
 
7. Japan
 
8. Philippines
 
9. Taiwan
 
10. Thailand
 

An interesting observation here is that most of the hits for popular distros comes from developing countries, where the piracy level is very high.
