Greetings. =) I have only joined this list recently and I'm sorry I missed this survey; however I feel that only 10 respondents doesnt represent much - if anything but a small minority. I would hope that the majority of responses may have simply been delayed or withheld for other non-obvious reasons.
I would like to ask the list members some general open-ended (open minded) questions - if I may? Q) How many of you have actually used an open source Operating System long-term (I mean longer than 5 years)? Q) Of those of you who have used an OS OpSys more than 5 years -- how many of you have run against the "Unix was designed so that only those that are truly interested in success using Unix will find a way to become successful with Unix" mentality? Q) Of those of you who have used Unix/Linux more than 5 years how many have built (or installed) Unix/Linux on more than 2 architectures? Q) How many list members are (check/indicate as many as you like) - 1) Programmers 2) Systems Administrators 3) actually working within the I/T realm at your respective companies. My reasons for asking these questions are, ultimately, selfish ones that will likely be of no use to anyone else -- I ask them here in hopes of hitting a majority of Unix/Linux women (as opposed to men, of course.) I apologize if this information was asked and reported elsewhere; you are welcome to delete/killfile/moderate this thread out of existence if you choose. Thanks =) -- WC -Sx- Jones http://insecurity.org/
