It's awkward to figure out how many people use Ubuntu in the UK, as unlike Mac OSX or Windows it isn't sold! Mark Shuttleworth suggested in 2006 that there where around 8 million Ubuntu users http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(Linux_distribution) so I suppose that's as close as you'll get ;-) In comparison Apple claims 15 million users of Mac OSX, so Ubuntu isn't doing too badly given the length of time its been around. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
