Hi Emmanuel, Well unfortunately, it's difficult to count as we have the same download page for all our Linux downloads (x86, x86_64, PPC).
We've had more than 10 000 Linux downloads since 2009 january 1st. But I'm sure the PPC version has not been downloaded more than 100 times (+/- 1% of all the Linux downloads).
