No. That is almost impossible to estimate now. We have about 80 official FTP 
mirror servers, and many times that number of unoficial ones.

Additionally, how does one count all the copies of Samba that are distributed 
with Linux and UNIX OSs?

Sorry to say it, but we have given up trying to estimate this number. When you 
reach a conclusion perhaps you will share it with us?
