No real way to know that. It's insignificant enough to be irrelevant. We
need to change that.

InstallFests are a good way of boosting the GNU/Linux numbers. At 25 to
100 boxen per InstallFest, though, that's not gonna change things anytime
soon...

Knoppix is great, but we're not AOHell and can't afford the buckage to give
a copy ( or 10 ) to everyone.

Another tack as far as browsers goes is to encourage people to use Free
Software applications even if they're not ready for a Free Software OS. We
can have great impact by gettting small and medium sized organizations to
move to things like Mozilla, Evolution, the GIMP, and OpenOffice.org on m$
platforms. Enter GNUwinII :).
