-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is the Linux Counter summary as of Sun Feb 1 00:32:22 2009

There are 129001 persons registerd.
738 users have been registered by friends.
There are 145278 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
2,580,020 and 64,500,500 people.

WHERE LINUX USERS LIVE
The table is sorted by number of Linux users divided by population
