Greetings,
Are there any summary CentOS numbers available?
yes
The number of subscribers to this email list, and the number of server installs?
There are atleast 8 subscribers to this list, and I know of atleast 4 servers that run CentOS.
beyond that - feel free to pull a number out of thin air - its just about as likely to be accurate as the numbers above.

Yes, lol ...
I know enough about mailman that it's a cinch for the list administrator to get the headline number of subscribers.
So, johnny at centos.org, z00dax at centos.org, ralph at centos.org, herrold at centos.org should be able to tell us. No?
In all seriousness ... there are:
4287 members total
As far as servers installed, there is no way to accurately know that. We do know that we have had more than 6 million unique IPs request data from the 100 or so internal mirrors that serve updates.
However, we push a mirrorlist that includes external (public ... not controlled by CentOS) as well as internal (controlled by CentOS) ... so we have no way of knowing how many machines got updates from the external mirrors.
One also has to take into account that some users get several IP addresses (if they are behind a dynamic IP address) ... and that many people use the private IP ranges of 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, and 172.16.x.x and Network Address Translation and have many machines that come from 1 IP address.
The bottom line is. we just don't know how many machines are out there.

(CentOS is currently #2 behind Debian on that list.)
