The counter is run by a nonprofit membership organization called the Linux Counter ... 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 http counter.li.org . 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. In not making wild guesses, there is only one way to go statistics. So, the main purpose of the Linux Counter http counter.li.org 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. Attention paid to the Counter At the time when Linux first burst into the limelight around 1999 , there were quite a few news articles about the Linux Counter, including three Slashdot articles ref cite web url http slashdot.org linux 99 02 23 1049219.shtml title Linux Counting ... more details
