Cool. Does anyone have info on the current amount of linux (home) users? I did some googling... it seems that the total amount could sum up to 0,7 million instances(tuxmachines.org).
EDIT: how about Canonical? Do they have any statistcs?

i was just curious on the rate. I stop it after.

PS. I rm the mini-script from my post, to avoid copy past of random users feeling temptation of repeat it. Better remove it from your quote too.
