have a little informal survey about the Linux preferences of CLUE

1. Which distro do you use?<br>

CentOS 5.x for now<br>

2. Which desktop do you use? KDE3, KDE4, Gnome, other?<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
Microsoft Windows window manager ha ha. When in a Linux GUI I like
Gnome better.<br>

3. How many of your computers run Linux?<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
All servers, which make up about 50% of the "computer" population.<br>

4. Do other family members use Linux?<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
Not for a desktop, but all the time because all the servers and network
stuff are Linux<br>

5. Do you use Linux exclusively at home?<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
No, but define "use" - a Linux system is involved for just about
everything I do<br>

6. Are you fortunate enough to use Linux at work?<br>

Yes, I introduced Linux to my employer/company 11 years ago<br>

7. Do you build your own Linux? (Yes, a few of us are masochistic
enough to do so! :) )<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
All my kernels are custom. I have made my own distros a couple of
times in the past but it is too damn much work. Maybe if I became a
yum/RPM guru or something it might be easier.<br>
