this is an interesting point- i wonder how you come to your conclusion [and what supporting data you have]. i run several linux boxes- all of them with screens and keyboard. but i do know of several linux boxes set up as you indicate.
No numbers, as I wrote, it's just a guess, which I dare to do from looking at the fact, that although Linux is becoming more and more popular as a desktop system, it's traditional home as a Unix-ish system is the server room (or farm).
Or it is the other way around: The Linux counter: http://counter.li.org/reports/short.php reports that 91.65% of all registered users use Linux at home and 53.10% at work (obviously some do both).
Lies, damn lies and statistics.
Anyway: a significant amount of Linux machines work in the server business, where keyboards and screens are not needed.
