Just checked the top 100, 200 and 300 BOINC computer systems.

Top 100 - 6% are Linux systems

Top 200 - 6.5% are Linux systems

Top 300 - 8% are Linux systems

Top 400 - 7.25% are Linux systems

Top 500 - 7.6% are Linux systems.

The Mac OS/X share appeared to be about half (or less) then the Linux
share, giving non-MS OSes about 10% of the top 500 comsputers.

Linux systems have more time to waste because they are not doing
anything productive ? :-)

I would have though that to be two-edged argument - easily employed against
the 90% of systems that are running Windows.......

Careful now....you might cut yourself. Too late!!! :-)
