This is the monthly report from the Linux Usage Counter.
It is posted on the 1st of every month on the newsgroup
comp.os.linux.misc

An uptodate version is always available by anonymous FTP from
ftp://aun.uninett.no/pub/misc/linux-counter, together with other
reports based on the same material.

To enter your registration into the statistics, send an E-mail to
linux-coun...@uninett.no, with the SUBJECT line being one of

  I use Linux at home
  I use Linux at work
  I use Linux at school

The reply will contain information about how to register more
information about yourself, your machine and your friends, if you
want to.

If you can't do FTP, you can get the reports by sending the counter
an E-mail containing in the BODY one of the lines

//REPORT short
//REPORT persons
//REPORT machines
//HELP

Any questions should be adressed to the maintainer of the counter,
Harald.T.Alvestr...@uninett.no

Good luck!

Linux counter: There are 6822 registered Linux users

I have added a new "disclaimer" section to the Linux Counter.
It is reproduced below.
This MAY help people get their eyes away from the "7000" figure.

the figure!

Status of the Linux counter, as of Fri Jul 22 00:30:35 MET DST 1994

There are 7051 registered Linux users

I estimate this as being between 0.2 and 5% of the total number of Linux users,
giving the total community size something between 141.020 and 3.525.500 members.
Supporting datum: Something like 30.000 CDs have been sold.
Only 75 of these are among the 545 who have reported to the counter where
they installed from (as of Fri Jul 22). Simple arithmetic makes it likely
that there are 218.000 Linux users in toto.
