Well, 20 may have been aiming just a tad low. I'd never make it in sales. Here are the stats from linux-karma.sf.net:
- most recent release, for 2.6.25: 36 downloads since 3/16/08 - # subscribers on mailing list: 39 [1] - most # of downloads of a given release: 252 (May-Oct 2007) [2]
[1] Some subscribers may not use the FS at all since there is also software for using the ethernet interface. Both are discussed on the list.
[2] I doubt that 252 d/ls translates to that many _current_ users; a year is a long time in consumer electronics. I don't have stats on unique IPs.
I'm unaware of ReplayTV users - one guy contacted me once and then disappeared.

You guys would know best. I can see both arguments...
