Depends what you mean. There are hundreds of desktop distros, but linux is much more popular than you would imagine. Android, the Wii, almost all servers, most checkout monitors, and many public displays (airports, fast food menus, etc) all run linux. So, there are a few hundred distros, but I'd estimate there are over 10000 "versions" in use across the world.
