Yeah, current count is now 13887 users. You should tell that we've got almost 15000 registered systems but don't see how one can come even close to 3 million uses as a result. I still want to see his metrics. :-) > jkh, how can we access the registration counters? There should be > something on the web about it (along with a pointer to the Linux > registration counters). That would be nice, yes. :-) No time to hack out those sorts of things right now, however, so the best you guys are going to get are periodic reports. The registrations come to me (and Poul-Henning, who also signed himself up to receive them) via email and I don't have any fancy CGI stuff for exporting it. Jordanhome | help
