which does not even mention all of the sites and servers that put out
false info that they are ms based.

i first tried linux when if came out on floppies and i started using
redhat when they released first cd.

yesterday was first time that i have every 'registered' when i looked at

all in all, being that those of us who do use linux for personal use tend
to be private about it, as you say, it is a difficult number to arrive at.
