Reply from Linux usage counter |
Date: |
Sun, 24 Aug 2003 04:45:03 GMT |
The subject line of your message was Your details.
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 address@hidden
HELP FOR THE LINUX USAGE COUNTER
================================
This message is intended for you to edit, and send right back to the
address@hidden 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 Sun Aug 24 01:43:46 2003
There are 137154 persons registerd.
1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 121996 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
2,743,080 and 68,577,000 people.
WHERE LINUX USERS LIVE
The table is sorted by number of Linux users divided by population
