Well, it's "linux users". It does bring up the interesting side effect
that with the EEE, it's likely Xandros is the leading desktop Linux
distribution now, by an insanely wide margin.

(As for Fedora installs that use NFS, well, we can't have useful stats
without having machines report home as to what modules are loaded, what
filesystems are mounted, etc. Which brings up an entirely different flamewar.)
