Linux Counter <http://counter.li.org> 
is a voluntary effort. It only counts people who bother to register, and their machines.As of October 19, 2001, the Linux Counter had attracted close to 200,000 individual registrations from nearly 200 countries.
Here in UpFront we try to show various Linux statistics: from Netcraft, Tucows, Evans Data and other sources. This month we thought it would be a fun idea to see what users themselves are saying about their distribution choices including DIY: do it yourself.
Here are the results. If you don't like 'em, go vote with your own registration at the Linux Counter site.
