This is the Linux Counter summary as of Fri Jan 1 00:32:15 2010
There are 125525 persons registerd.
738 users have been registered by friends.
There are 140056 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
2,510,500 and 62,762,500 people.
