Norton's count isn't anywhere near accurate. The last count it told me was around 1.8 million IIRC.

It decompresses common archive formats and counts the files WITHIN the archives. This includes JAR archives for java stuff.

ACTUAL files (not counting INSIDE archives) on my main machine:

149559 on C:
4221 on D:
E/F = CD/DVD
22482 on G:
6147 on H:
102173 on I:
79724 on J:

Just think: FAT16 only had 65536 allocation blocks.

excelsior:/# find . -type f | wc -l
977965

Figure about 1500-2000 "files" in /proc that should be subtracted. Still leaves a bunch. Takes a long time to do a full tripwire scan of the system. :)

excelsior:/# find . -type d | wc -l
71898

So it seems I have quite a few directories on this system too :p
