Thanks Shawn. We've been doing the show since July, I think (we've just posted show number 17 - weekly show...I don't do math) and we've learned a hell of a lot about...well...everything. One of the more interesting things we've learned is that a much larger percentage of our listenership than we thought *aren't* new users. In fact, they're very seasoned users and developers. If I had to guess I would estimate that we're hitting 80% genuine new users who are trying to make the leap and the remainder being people with varying degrees of experience and interest in the GNU/Linux. More than a few developers echo your sentiments that it's nice to see how a new user sees things. It's nice to see a segment that we didn't count on getting some sort of benefit out of the show.
