========== Forwarded message ==========
This is the Linux Counter summary as of Thu Mar 31 18:48:45 2005
There are 144958 persons registerd.
1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 151153 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
2,899,160 and 72,479,000 people.
WHERE LINUX USERS LIVE
The table is sorted by number of Linux users divided by population
