I can't imagine how anyone would know how to count;  considering the
various ub distros and variants, and the fact that one user may be
accessing the repositories from a different IP every time s/he goes
online, while another site may be running 100 different installs/ users/
or seats and accessing the repositories from the same IP.

I have several different ub distros on several machines as one user, but
each time I refresh the repositories it is done from the same IP for all
of the machines.

Unless my IP changes, which it occasionally but rarely does.

How do you count Mint?  Fluxbuntu?  Linspire/Freespire after April?
