[Gloucs] Only 400-600 Linux users of bbc.co.uk website?

[Sean Keeney]

Maybe it was taken out of context, and he meant users of the audio/video 
streams?

Either way that's rubbish. In my new job there is at least 15, including 
myself. Granted they're all using the same public IP, but i'm sure the 
BBC weren't counting individual IPs when they came up with that 17 
million number. If I personally know 20 regular browsers of their site 
using Linux, that would imply I personally know 3 percent of the Linux 
BBC browsing public. Which is bollocks.

I'd like to the details of his browser stats.
