This is the Linux Counter summary as of Sat May 31 19:28:46 2003
There are 134695 persons registerd.
1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 118502 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
2,693,900 and 67,347,500 people.
