Register yourself as a linux user


I'm probably the last person to find out about this, but I thought it was interesting, so I'll pass it along. There's a website, called, "The Linux Counter," where you can register as a Linux user and also register the information about your system. No mailing lists or anything, it seems, if you choose to register. Once you register, you get a cool little Linux logo, showing you as a registered Linux user, with your registered user number.

From the website, you can see a breakdown by country, state and city, as to how many registered Linux users there are in each place. Also, you can see how long Linux boxes have been up without a reboot. Kind of cool to be able to look at the statistics, I thought!

Anyway, if you're interested, the website is: http://counter.li.org/

You might find it interesting to check out and register as a Linux user. All distros of Linux are welcome!

Regards,
Raju

Not unless you have the highest number!

And if you support the counter, it might help document the marketshare enough that we get better support from hardware and closed source software vendors to offer linux support.

hahah That.. doen't mean that I was last. I wrote that in the sense of late. eventhough I was using linux from 2007 , i came to know about this yesterday only. That's why i wrote like that.

I thought most of the people in LQ has already registered. So I want to say for the newbie's, who don't know about this.
