I am from California and am 32 years old. I was a little overwhelmed when picking Linux up because there were so many distributions to choose from and eventually decided to settle on using one; Red Hat. I work for a networking company doing software engineering and although my friends consider me a geek, I still have a hard time walking in public with a Linux shirt on. I found this site when trying to get mplayer working. I use Linux at home although there is a small Linux revolution going on inside my work which allows me a Linux desktop alongside my Windows machine. I recently switched fulltime to Linux at home and have never looked back!
