nowadays it is a blip in the data compared to routers, switches, music boxes, GPS systems, laptops, desktops, workstations that run Linux. I was going to say the opposite. I think you're making a statement about the number of Linux kernel images running, but I don't think that's a useful measure of prevalence as it relates to the cost of assuming a system is single-user. On the contrary, I believe the great majority of Linux is multiuser servers and the personal computers and appliances you mention are a blip. I'm looking at the amount of filesystem access that happens. When I say "multiuser" I'm considering a user to be a person, not a uid. Incidentally, routers and switches (from your list) are multiuser systems. Consequently, there is a security issue in sending data to the wrong user.
