OK. You can certainly get the other reading out of that statement, but
it's an obscure interpretation whereas the interpretation that reads it
as "installing LInux" is something we respond to all the time here.

So, I'll withdraw my remark about percentage. I do still think it more
appropriate to answer the common interpretation, not the rather arcane
one that nobody every asks. I think we want to be more than just
technically correct, I think we also want to be very clear. This is
especially true because we have people here who are not native English
speakers.
