Subject: Register with the Linux counter project
To: root

   (Adapted from a question in the Linux-FAQ)

   How Many People Use Linux?

   Linux is freely available, and no one is required to register with
   any central authority, so it is difficult to know.  Several businesses
   survive solely on selling and supporting Linux.  Linux newsgroups are
   some of the most heavily read on Usenet.  Accurate numbers are hard to
   come by, but the number is almost certainly in the millions.

   However, people can register as Linux users at the Linux Counter
   project, which has been in existence since 1993.  In August of 2012
   the project counted more than 133,000 users, but that is certainly
   only a small fraction of all users.  The operator of the Linux Counter
   estimated over 60 million users at that time.

   To get counted, visit the Web site at:

   http://linuxcounter.net

   ...and fill in the registration form.

   The current count is posted monthly to news:comp.os.linux.misc, and
   is always available from the Web site.
