I have my girlfriend using Debian, though I haven't gotten her on the mailing lists yet. Maybe someday I'll help get that total to 2 or 3... > IT? Artsy? Young? Old? Bitter? Socialist or CrewCut?

Left-leaning (Harpers, > not New Republic), piano-playing, community-oriented, social. 24 yo, B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Cornell), born and raised on Cape Cod, MA, USA. Currently living in Seattle, telecommuting for a tiny gas turbine consulting firm writing multi-platform software (using Qt at the moment). Been using Linux since '95, though I've only been using it exclusively for about a year (damn Doom, Quake, Warcraft 2, Diablo, Starcraft, Asheron's Call addictions throughout college). Other stuff... Instruments: guitar, learning piano Music: Radiohead License: GPL Politics: completely against anything known as "politics" in the US, anti-corporate, _No Logo_ > Curious why so many people use RedHat. I'd say mostly because of marketing and reputation. To most commoners, Redhat == Linux. It's gotten a lot of press and has a decent corporate reputation. It's the distro everyone has heard of. It's supposed to be "easy to use". Also, RPM's are everywhere; Redhat is the target platform for most commercial Linux software. To the outsider, it appears to be the most supported distro. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
