How Old?

73 this month/Male/Kansas/Retired about 3 times/Been working with Linux on 3 of my PC's for a little over a year. Using FC5, SuSE 10.1 and WindozeXP Pro. Tried a couple of other distros, but have about settled on SuSE - now if I can just learn to use it better. Just wanted to learn the OS - still learning at my 'advanced age'.

24/male/Minneapolis, MN, USA (stupid, but I'll mention it, when I first came to linuxquestions.org, I was surprised to see a lot of stuff for me, Jeremy's blog, Jeremy this, Jeremy that. It turns out, it's the main "root"? guy here. As my name is also Jeremy (JBailey).
So I was stupid when I came on.
