Hmm - there is no way this is an average system. It is just a random system.
For doing statistics on file names it is a valid example, I think.
For doing statistics on file sizes or directory sizes it is worthless.
Some people have few very large files, some have news spools or other
things with lots of small files in a directory.
(This particular system does not have a news spool.)

Anyway, I can give you the stats.

127533 directories
2555633 regular files
946 other files

Largest file: 678035456 bytes
Largest directory: 1283 links

(Interesting - I never thought about that, but it looks as if most directories are empty.)
