I've hunted through the Top500's database before, and I've never been able to find a way to count how many of the Top500 machines run Linux. They do appear to track operating systems for each machine, and you can find the operating system for each of the currently sold product lines (they're all Unix flavors, with Linux the most common), but their database doesn't appear to record OS, or at least you can't filter by it.

Has anyone seen or been able to get a number on how much of this list is run on Linux?
