Devs have tried some modest estimates by rsync mirror usage statistics. You should be able to find it in a ml archive or possible on the forums. Be sure to have some clever search words! ;-) -- Regards, Jason Stubbs -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

About the only sort of global metrics we can easily poll are DNS stats. The gentoo.org name servers answer 6MM - 7MM queries per month. As for how many users that translates into, I've no idea, but somehow, I have a feeling there will be no shortage of opinions... --kurt pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

((# of register gentoo users on the forms) - (# of registered users that have left gentoo) - ( number of users that have registers twice)) * (1/(percent of users that register)) # of register gentoo users on the forms = 36789 guess # of registered users that have left gentoo ~ 1000 # number of users that have registers twice ~ 1000 this is the hard one (assume 1000 posts to the list a day 100 e-mail to this list 1/2 the people read both 1/20 use mailing list and not forms how many read the forms but never post??? assume 60 - 10. Assume 5 % just RTFM) percent of users that register 35 to 85 (36789 - 1000 - 1000)*(1/.35) = 99397 to (36789 - 1000 - 1000)*(1/.85) = 40928 Oliver Lange wrote: Hi everyone, Has anyone tried to estimate how many people are currently using gentoo-linux ?

Maybe there are more users who just RTFM/never post.. Might have been easier to estimate if gentoo would cost $1.00 per user/company :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
