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.
