The Red Hat Society comes from a poem by Jenny Joseph
It begins like this:
Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

Val Phillips

I know you're not.  I've run into them before myself.  It seems to be more =
of a Southern US thing, since I've mainly seen them when at WAVV in =
Chattanooga.  It's always a slightly surreal experience.  :)

Not necessarily!  There are several flourishing groups right here in central
PA - indeed I know one lady in our former church.  Purple is also favoured.
I think they even have an annual night out at our local minor league
baseball team.

My Mom and many of her friends in Old Hickory TN (all in their late 70's
early 80's) are in the Red Hat Society....so I know you are not making
it up. I only get back there every 10 yrs or so (I am in Seattle) and in
2001 I gave them a couple of dozen of the Red Hat Linux bumper stickers
and they put them on their cars. My Mom has been asked several times if
she uses Linux.

I prefer to sysctl to list this stuff, it's what you should use to
change values and you can modify its config file to make changes permanent.
