That's the claim from the BBC's head of technology in a recent interview:

http://linkpot.net/diatribe/

"We have 17.1 million users of bbc.co.uk in the UK and, as far as our server
logs can make out, 5 per cent of those [use Macs] and around 400 to 600 are
Linux users."

Both already have 200+ members/signatures - apparently 1/3 of all
BBC-News-reading Linux users in the UK. :)

Cheers,

Tony
