My RedHat 5.0 CD has 337M of gzip'ed source code on it. Using the
same conversion factor between lines of code and gzipped source as
the 2.1.106 kernel, (7.6 gzip'ed bytes per line of code) gives an
estimate of total lines of code for RedHat -- 46 million.
And yes, I am already aware of how (in)accurate this estimate might
be.
