The subject line of your message was Re: Wicked screensaver. This did NOT contain the word "Linux". The counter has unfortunately been the recipient of many sorts of messages, some of which were not intended as registrations. Therefore, the subject line MUST include "Linux" to perform a simple registration. Please include the word "Linux" in the subject line, perform a registration using the form below, or register using the Web forms at http://counter.li.org/ in order to register. If you have any unusual problems - contact harald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx! HELP FOR THE LINUX USAGE COUNTER ================================ This message is intended for you to edit, and send right back to the Linux-counter@xxxxxxxxxx address. DO NOT USE "REPLY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Practice has shown that putting the counter in the Reply-To: or From: fields of a message is a GREAT way of causing mail loops, and defending against them is a *lot* of effort. Therefore, this counter does not do it) There are two ways of registering: Simple and complex. For the SIMPLE method, simply send a message with the subject line being one of: I use Linux at home I use Linux at work I use Linux at school I do not use Linux You can also do combinations, like "I use Linux at home and at work". The counter will attempt to guess your country of origin, and count you accordingly. Information about you will not be made public. Complex registration -------------------- The complex features of the counter are accessed by using commands. A command looks like (for instance) //MACHINE, and starts in the left column. You can register MACHINES, FRIENDS and data about YOURSELF (PERSON). Below is listed an example of each of the sections, with comments that aid you in filling them out correctly. Remember to put the value on the same line as the field name! Only use the FRIENDS section if it is unlikely that the people will register themselves! When the templates are accepted by the daemon, they will be added to the database. Data will be added even if it is not parsed properly. They may be thrown out in later duplicate elimination, or you may receive a query from me regarding the validity of the data, but otherwise, they will be counted. You can also register using the WWW forms at http://domen.uninett.no/~hta/linux/counter.html You can get a report from the counter by specifying the command //REPORT <reportname> The following reports are available: short - The standard listing of Linux usage, including per-country data machines - Statistics on registered Linux machines persons - Persons who use Linux, sorted by country, and some statistics All these reports are also available by anonymous FTP to aun.uninett.no, directory pub/misc/linux-counter, or through the World Wide Web at http://domen.uninett.no/~hta/linux/counter.html The counter also understands //HELP. When you use a command, the subject line of the message is *not* recorded in the counter. Good luck! Harald Tveit Alvestrand Sorry, the record help is out of order //END The END command is only required if you have a mailer that adds stuff below the last line of the message. This is the Linux Counter summary as of Fri Aug 22 07:38:26 2003 There are 137007 persons registerd. 1407 users have been registered by friends. There are 121870 machines registered. I guesstimate that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have registered with the Linux Counter. So the total number of Linux users is probably between 2,740,140 and 68,503,500 people. WHERE LINUX USERS LIVE The table is sorted by number of Linux users divided by population No Country Pers Fri Mach P/Mpop Mpop ====================================================================== 1
