-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Linux Counter summary as of Sat May 31 19:03:09 1997
There are 47004 persons registerd.
1873 users have been registered by friends.
There are 19740 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
940,080 and 23,502,000 people.
WHERE LINUX USERS LIVE
The table is sorted by number of Linux users divided by population
