Dunno how it is in the US, but here Debian, RedHat, and Mandrake are all pretty popular. The odd copy of SuSE pops up, and others like Gentoo and whatnot are seen, but the big 3 dominate. > Do you guys are all members of ACS? or any other organization? I'm StudIEEE, StudIEAust, StudAPESMA, but not because of my interest in Linux. To become an ACS member, you have to hold appropriate technical qualifications - which I'll wager half of the people on SLUG don't have (not necessarily a bad thing...). In the circles I frequent, the ACS is seen as a bit of a joke - an MS shill, and not overly interested in true state of the art. I think IEEE's Computer Society isn't bad, but it isn't local. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
