You never did answer my question:
What percentage of Linux desktop users would you estimate purchase
Linux Journal regularly?

Here's another one.  Wintrolls have often declared that hardly anyone
running Linux is running it on the desktop -- that it's primarily being
used as a server OS.  Given that assumption, what percentage of all  
Linux users would you estimate are running Linux on the desktop?

OK.  So a vanishingly small percentage.  Well, that's a little optimistic.
We know there are not an infinite number of Linux desktop users.  How
about picking a percentage greater than zero?  Would 1 percent work for
you, so we could keep things simple?  0.1 percent?  0.001 percent?
Something even lower?

OK.  Again, a vanishingly small percentage.  Be realistic.  We can't have
any infinities in our calculation.  Please pick a percentage that we
can work with.
