I take your point. With commercial products it is relatively easy, how many
licenses have been sold. Not so easy here. Also, similar to your comment
on live CD's, I've installed and booted (about twice) a small distro on a
pen drive and also from my mp3 player. Do these count?

Really, does it really matter? Provided a distribution has a large enough
(perceived?) user base to make it worth the developers while producing it
does anything else matter? Even then, the size of the user bases and
whether it is worth the distro developers efforts are still loose terms.
