Find a site that's popular within the UK and ask very very nicely for (some of) their visitor stats? I think websites can 'ask' your computer what it's running (I've seen ads that normally say 'Protect your *Windows* PC' telling me to 'Protect your *Linux* PC'. You should be able to see breakdown of OSs that way, but I think it only records Linux, not specifically Ubuntu. Something to look into, anyway. -- Josh Blacker -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
