Seven percent. Documented at least as far back as the Christian bible.

How many are left handed (was: How Many use linux)
You can see from the subject that there is an air of irrelevance about this. But it seems to me that knowing how many are left handed would, naturally, lead to enhancements targetted at the left-hand community. I answer that the customizability and portability of the LyX code base is sufficient that a typing-able user on any modern desktop-target platform is in a position to use LyX, and figuring out even rough numbers for distribution on supported platforms is a distraction to the LyX community. This is true even if the user is left handed, or non-Linux using, or whatever. A -- Andrew Sullivan a...@shinkuro.com Shinkuro, Inc.
