These numbers are very biased, as about all Linux and *BSD  
distributions have some sort of package management system, so there's  
no need to download sources from SourceForge or build binaries by  
hand. Just doing some apt-get or emerge or whatever is much more  
convenient and reliable.

For example, sites like the Ubuntu Popularity Contest show 11'000  
installations with about 1'000 users:
