linux counter

Hi all,

Purpose of the Linux Counter
The Linux Counter is started as a "for fun" project to find out how many Linux
users there are worldwide. The basic idea is for people to register themselves
as being a Linux user. Of course, this way you won't get all Linux users counted
as not every Linux user will register himself at the Linux Counter site.
Thus, the only way to "know" the number of Linux users worldwide, is to make a
guess, preferably a not-too-wild guess of the number of Linux users. Not making
wild guesses there is only one way to go: statistics.

So, the main purpose of the Linux Counter is to deal with statistics on all
kinds of numbers related to Linux usage. It started with statistics on the
number of Linux users and it extended to statistics on Linux users, the machines
they use, software they use and in what part of the world Linux users are
actually living.

A second purpose of the Linux Counter is to make it possible for Linux users to
find each other. The Linux Counter is reporting Linux users sorted per almost
any place in the world. So, when Linux users want their information to be
public, you can quite simply find those users who live in places near you.
