Hi! I'm new to the list (today)
I did a little survey on the Rutgers linux-newbie mailing list
a while back.
The results were interesting
Most are male
Most 25 - 40
Most had a wide range (years)of detailed computer experience (DOS, Unix,
WinXX, OS/2)
(hence the guts to try something new)
Me?
Male
Forty-something
DOS, Windows 3.1 through Win98 (using since the late '80's)
Light putz programming, Basic, Pascal, C/C++ and Java.
(re)Build/upgrade my own computer and support others in neighborhood.
I think you find that most are at my (minimal) level or significantly
higher (admins etc.). Most have a need or urge to peek under the 'hood'.
I love Linux and its power but will be the first to admit that it is not
for the simple user who wants to turn on the power and type a letter (yet).
It IS getting better by the day though.
