Hi :) Hmmm, over 60% of the worlds top 50 supercomputers use Gnu&Linux and most of the rest use other unix-based platforms. So anyone using the internet or any email system has probably used Linux. Google servers run on Gnu&Linux. Almost all mobile phones used Gnu&Linux although smart phones sometimes use something else.
What people usually mean is they have never used it as a desktop OS.

Seems like Linux is everywhere. Seems that I own a DVR, a fancy Panasonic DVD player, and a phone that all seem to be based on Linux. It is everywhere, we just don't know it! :-) On 08/13/2012 07:55 PM, anne-ology wrote: > you're mis-informed; I, for one, have never used a Linus-based > machine; and I bet I'm not the only one. > > > > On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 6:36 PM, Mark LaPierre <marklap...@aol.com> wrote: > > On 08/12/2012 12:31 PM, Florian Effenberger wrote: >>> Hello, >>> >>> this is to inform you that the reply settings on this list have changed >>> (so-called "Reply to mangling" has been disabled). >>> >>> So far, e-mails had set a reply-to the mailing list address.
