This is the Linux Counter summary as of Sun Nov 30 19:43:24 2003
There are 134126 persons registerd.
1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 125056 machines registered.
I guesstimate that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have
registered with the Linux Counter.
So the total number of Linux users is probably between
2,682,520 and 67,063,000 people.
