Actually, since 2011, the project is maintained only by me, Alexander Löhner. In the last weeks there were two guys that have sent some really helpful pull requests to the repository. But that was just like a small drop in the bucket. So I’m doing all the administrative, programming, supporting and fixing work alone on my own and […]
The Linux Counter Project was founded in September 1993 by Harald Tveit Alvestrand on http://counter.li.org. Since then it has collected a userbase of 563,752 registered Linux users and 157,855 registered Linux machines. The actual guess about the Linux users world wide is at ~80,600,000 users. In 2011 I, Alexander Löhner, have taken over the whole project from […]

Hello all! you already may know our Linux Kernel fun statistics here. Actually we are only counting real code lines for the lines of codes statistics. That means, the statistical numbers in that LOC chart are much lower than everybody is speaking about. Actually the new kernel version 4.2rc seems to have about 20 million […]
Hello peoples! As you already may have noticed, the Counter sometimes freezes and gets unreachable. We are still trying to figure out what that causes. One try to solve this will happen on Monday the 6th of July from 07:45am (CEST) until… well, maybe an hour or so. We’ll replace the mainboard at that time […]

A very, very happy birthday to Harald Tveit Alvestrand, the founder and initiator of the first Linux Counter Project in 1993! Have a nice birthday, Harald! And thank you very much for putting your trust in me with giving the Linux Counter Project to me! Cheers!

Hey all out there! Today the linuxcounter was offline from 07:20am until 01:45pm CEST because of the crash of one of the two SSDs. After an update yesterday evening I decided today in the morning to reboot the server, because there also was a new kernel available. Unfortunatly I only got the busybox initramfs prompt […]

Hey there! Some days gone by and here is the latest update on the SEO stuff I am doing: Actually the Linux Counter has reached the position 19 on Google when searching for “linux“. That is fantastic! The global traffic rank on Alexa now is at 546,599 which also is very amazing! Compared to the time when […]
Hey there! I just want to announce, that my SEO stuff is very successful! I have started with SEO two months ago with an alexa global rank of about 1,900,000, a Google pagerank of 2 (IIRC) and a Google search position for the searchstring “linux” of way below position 200. Since then, I’ve done many, many things to […]
Hey peoples! I am soooo sorry for the downtime today morning. This was definitly my own fault… I’m at moving the whole Counter (database and source) to a RAM disc. While this process and a restart of the server, the database was accidentally deleted. So I needed to import the latest backup from 5 hours […]
Hello folks, we’ll do a BIOS upgrade very soon on the server. This means a short downtime of about 15 or 20 minutes. So, when you get an error, please just try again a little bit later. Thanks in advance Alex
Hey folks, we had a massive and long downtime today in the morning of about 7 hours. Fortunatly I can say, that this was not because of the Counter Project itself. Unfortunatly, I actually don’t even know what has caused this. The only thing I can say, that I was not able to connect to the […]
Hey peoples! I’ve just done some great optimizations in the database table structure with indexes and such things. I’ve also deactivated the translation tool (for now), because this is the great major problem when being logged in to the page. This tool slows down the page loading by about 6 seconds! So for now, this […]
Hey there! I know, I’ve asked you for help me with this App, but I really don’t want to wait until Christmas next year until one has the time and is willing to do this. So I’ve now done this by myself. I’ve just (re-)released the new version of the official Linux Counter Android App to […]

I’ve just cleaned up the kernels table. We are measuring the statistics only from the official kernel versions from kernel.org. It makes no sense to show a kernel version like “3.16.23.11-ubuntu5-amd64-012345” or something like that. Instead only the single kernel versions are supported, for example: 2.1.45 or 4.0.3 or 3.11.23.
Hello dear country managers! Is there any of you still interested in the Linux Counter and reading this? I’m actually at implementing some managers stuff into the Linux Counter Project and I want to ask you, if you are still willing and have the time to again do your managers job? Actually there already is […]

Hi there! In the past I’ve asked several times for help with this project. Unfortunatly the reaction from the community, from you, was equal to zero. There are so many users online on the Counter each day. I really can’t beleive that there is nobody who is willing to help a little bit. There are some […]
