This kind of effort has been happening all the time, pretty much since Linux came into existence. And it has never resulted in a full census. Downloads statistics from the major distros are a better reflection of the state of linux than these counters will ever be. And this effort in particular is pretty lame because they are doing a disservice to the community by forking/duplicating the function of the original linux counter at http://counter.li.org/ This organization was created on May 1, 1999, taking over the running of the counter from Harald Tveit Alvestrand, who has been running the project since 1993. If their real motivation was to get a count of users. They'd have driven more eyeballs to http://counter.li.org/ and not started their own effort.

My only access to the net is via these data cards - BSNL - EVDO and Reliance ZTEaand huawei datacards on some machines they work through the network manager applet without much hassle on other machines (ubuntu based) they seem to work intermittently.
