And my contribution to the original topic :)
My wife and two teens use Linux, four others here at my workplace use Linux as a Desktop OS (not to speak of our servers), and I've met around 20 guys in the local LUG who obviously use Linux, too :} Cheers, Tink |
I have an old gateway (a nasty little bugger when it was running windows) running ASP and 5 servers running red hat 8. I know of about 4 people using some form of redhat or suse. I've got about 40 public computers running windows XP with cygwin, but I'm the only one who uses it. I'm trying to convince everyone here at work that linux is the best way to go, but they are a bunch of old ladies who don't want to hear it. Meanwhile they have to listen to me rant about the horrors of microflop.

I use Mandrake 10, my friend uses Mandrake 9.whatever-it-is, (he insists that he has the better deal, and I'm starting to believe him. However he just sold his computer so.... :) ) My friend/teacher has fedora on his laptop. Plus two coyote router boxes I know of. My friend's dad works for SUN, but that doesn't really count. I am trying to convert my family, but they are paranoid about downtime so...
thats all for now titanium_geek |
downtime?

Two others at my school. Everyone calls us Linux-1, Linux-2, and Linux-3.

Just one but he's more of a BSD guy.
I have friends that use Mac but it's too expensive for me. Gentoo |
outside of a single job I had about 5 years ago, I've never met anyone who uses linux in real life.

True, it is an old thread, but the question is interesting. So far I saw only one teacher using FC on their laptop and openoffice to show presentation ... rare, and the teacher happen to be a $%#@%$, but that's another story. Technically at most schools they run servers and the servers run Linux usually. Other than that, nobody :)

Linux
I've been using Linux off and on for four years, but I've switched officially to Linux for all work and leisure purposes last week (I only use Windows for compatibility testing).
I've got several friends who use Linux (3), one teacher that uses it, and I've gotten my immediate family to make the switch too (that was fun). When I was in high school, though, I ran DSL in a Qemu window in the school library, and I got in trouble for "hacking." Heheheh. This is a cool topic. I'm glad somebody dug it up. |
Zero. I have to use Linux for everything, but the folks I work with prefer:
OSX Solaris WinDuhs Damn, suckered into another Lazarus thread. |
My son has it on his laptop, my father-in-law has it on two of his PC's and my kids school has it running as a server.
