As mentioned before, the best guess we could have would be just 
that, a guess.  We could analyze *.redhat.com ftp and webserver 
logs to produce statistics for what ISO images people download, 
etc. and generate stats for that, but it does not take into 
account how many machines a given download gets installed on, or 
how many people use a given download.  It also doesn't take into 
account mirror sites of which there are numerous of, nor does it 
take into account things like bittorrent, etc.

We only provide official Fedora Core for x86 and AMD64 at this 
point, however we provide the src and binary rpms for all of the 
other 5 architectures that build successfully in our build 
system.

IMHO, it is about as impossible to compute estimates for this as 
it is to compute how many Linux users there are out there.
