There are quite a few using the official distro kernels but the point remains that the KLive users are probably the ones most interested to try all new stuff and to live on the edge. They're not afraid to put the new technologies to work for them. That's probably why they're using reiser4 so much. OTOH they're probably the ones putting the fs under the most stress, a regular desktop user not capable of running klive.sh --install from the shell, would probably leave his CPU and harddisk idle most of the time too.
Being this only a sample I can't come up with absolute figures, but obviously there are more users than what is being recorded by KLive.
However the sample is not so small, in less then a year KLive logged 76740 days of uptime and 61355 reboots (or klive session restarts), and like you noticed an average of about 400-500 systems are always connected. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
