That would certainly be a great asset to the few like me who are, for the most part, shut in (though I know old guys aren't the throbbing majority of the Linux movement!).
I also qualify as member of the "old guy" group, but I haven't let that put a damper on my enjoyment of Linux. I think characteristics like curiosity and a willingness to experiment are better predictors of Linux movement demographics. Anyway, it's nice to meet another like-minded old guy :)
But, as I said, the fact that you folks are there is wonderful. Keep up the excellent work and the tremendous enthusiasm. It's a bright spot in my day.
It would be nice to hear what flavors of Linux your members are using, and what they use them for.
I'm currently using:
Scientific Linux (www.scientificlinux.org [RHEL4, carried to a point of perfection, used at Cambridge, Fermi, CERN, and the top labs across the world, so it gets amazing scrutiny.])
Ubuntu Linux (www.ubuntulinux.org [because I'm not so old that I don't get a kick out of trying out new stuff first])
Currently running Ubuntu. Before that, Gentoo, RedHat, Mandrake.
But that's today. Who knows about tomorrow! That's the fun of it, for me.
Thank you all.
