First installed Linux at around 15 (redhat and slackware) - never was able to make the switch. In the past year I have ran College, Mandrake, Fedora Core 2, and I am about to embark on a debian install and set the ol' girl up as a www server. Just got a new laptop and began a duel boot setup then realized I really really don't believe in Microsoft. I have decided to stick it out after re-reading one of my personal favorite quotes:
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Originally posted by GT I.N.C I am very curious as to know more about the people on this forum, i would like to know these MAIN things your: Age, Sex, Location & Nationality...
Age: 64 (will be 65 on January 27, 2005); sex: yes! ...oh, I mean, male; location: shown under my username; nationality: U. S. citizen. Glad to see that, in terms of age, I'm in a group comprising only 1.5% of respondents. That's me in almost EVERYTHING, it seems.
You don't have to answer them all, but i would like it if you could....
Always happy to oblige. It puzzles and annoys me that more posters don't at least give
their location. What's the point of being so secretive?

Thanks for posting this interesting poll.
Edited: Sorry this response got posted twice. Something went wrong with my DSL connection
just as I was posting and though I only clicked once somehow it got sent twice.
uh, just say it was a echo. It is a rather large forum.
I'll be glad when DSL gets here. I just went and checked. No new box yet. They have to replace the box right up the road first. < twiddles thumbs while waiting >
