IBM java vs openjdk

Hi,

What is the most popular version and most supported version of Java on Linux.

Is it IBM or OpenJDK ?

Are there are figures on downloads or how many users each has.

I assume that it's the IBM version, but i've never really asked the question before.

I would be really curious to know how many people use IBM java myself!
