Are you serious?? You are asking someone here to answer these questions FOR YOU, for an INTERVIEW?? And if you don't know the answers to 1 and 2, you are DEFINITELY not qualified for any job you're going for. And ALL of these questions aren't anything anyone here can answer.

Unless, of course, you're asking *US* to give you these things for some school project...in which case, you need to re-phrase your question. And there is NO WAY anyone is going to give out names and locations to some person on the Internet.

Seems to be a survey to me.

If your serious about helping you can skip 1 and 2. Yes its for a school assignment and was wondering would someone/ anyone care to help me out. You can call it a survey or you can see it as me interviewing you. Whatever you choose. I would just like some helpful feedback if you take the time to respond.
Thanks

What was your assignment? To give reasonable answers to these questions yourself or to carry out a survey of Linux users?

If the first, then do your own homework! Don't expect us to give better answers than you can yourself. That's dishonest.

If the second, put up a survey on a respectable site, give us a link and let us decide individually if we want to help out.

Obviously its an interview to linux users
And if its not something your interested in helping out on then move along. Im asking for someone to answer some questions for me who are familiar/still use Linux. Simple, and my Homework is the interview so Yes im doing my own work. If u see a question u wouldn't mind answering. Give it a go I'd greatly appreciate.

Sorry, discard this.

OK, here are my answers:

3) I use a desktop computer (Lenovo Thinkstation) and have a laptop too but don't use it much.
4) On my desktop I have Slackware 14.2. The laptop (very old iron) runs AntiX, I think version 17.
5) Ever since I've had them. All my computers are second-hand and scrubbing Windows off them is always my first task.
6) Firefox, Libreoffice, my own sudoku-playing program.
7) I can understand how it works, and it's safe on the Internet.
8) There are no disadvantages. Linux is perfect for me.
9) Perish the thought!!
10) None. I have better things to do with my time.
11) I've never had to. Linux doesn't make you reboot constantly like Windows does. However I do switch off in the evening and switch on again each morning because I don't want to waste electricity.

Satisfied?

Oh Kaaaay... So it's you interviewing us to get answers to a survey you're carrying out? Your post title is a bit ambiguous which is probably why you're getting a few sceptical replies.

However... I'll give it a go. I don't think I'll be giving away any personal info that the CIA, GCHQ, North Korea or the Chinese will find useful.
I hope this is of some use to you but may I ask that once you've completed your survey and written up your report, Please post it back here for those of us who take part to read (and perhaps comment on.)

Play Bonny!

@Soadyheid. If it isn't a secret, what do you use your printer for? I see you have a CAD program too so I assume you design useful objects and then print them out.

Thank you to the both of you. And this was for my knowledge im in school at the moment.

If it becomes a bigger discussion I will share.

No secret Hazel (Though I have signed the Official Secrets Act Waaaay back in my career.)

I prefer printing my own designs, it was bought so I could design and print a wooden bow handle for my Hoyt recurve bow. It took ages to do and a pretty steep learning curve but it's now complete and out there. I've also designed an arrow straightness checker, a wooden arrow straightener, a chess set, an adapter to fix my broken watering can, an insert for a broken tumble dryer knob, and other stuff, plus there are loads of weird things to download and print from the Thingiverse and elsewhere.

Meanwhile, back at the OPs original question...
