I think we need to dump this thread. What i was putting down were hypothetical situations discussed by several persons, whereas these have been taken very literally, in letter, rather than spirit. e.g. "I force my company to use Linux on the DT" , or "my grandpop uses Linux without knowing it", "the guy who uses linux cos its free, not for any other merit" .... these represented possible situations/questions that were being churned up on the fly. Who switches on the PC and who installed Linux, or whether it was a grandpop or a motherinlaw had nothing to do with the situation.
However, i completely agree that its not right to define a linux user based on what apps he uses (grep/sed/awk/vi) or what run level etc. (that was my own personal, biased interpretation). > From: "Sarvex Jatasra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 17:07:36 +0530 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [LIH]Defining a Linux user > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >>> Gautham Venkataram > Dear Gautam > The question was specifically meant for Rahul, I don�t think you have a > clue about what we were discussing.
