javipas writes "A simple analysis of the most updated version (a Git checkout) of the Linux kernel reveals that the number of lines of all its source code surpasses 10 million lines of code, but attention: this number includes blank lines, comments and text files. With a deeper analysis thanks to SLOCCount tool, you can get the real number of pure code lines: 6.399.191, with 96,4% of them developed in C, and 3,3% using assembler. The number grows clearly with each new version of the kernel, that seems to be launched each 90 days aproximately."
