What's a debian kid look like?



Forget support and distro discussion for a second..

Who are we here? I'm curious about what the Debian demographic is.  I
know this is sort of an impossible thing to answer, but it'd be
interesting to explore in vague terms who uses Debian, at least compared
to those who don't.

Crushing realities like, "Am I typical? Does using Debian separate me
from the rest?"

Controversial questions like, "Will I ever meet more than 1 or 2 female
Debian users who are active on mailing lists? Am I a Microsoft-branded
pinko 'cause I like open-source?"

IT? Artsy? Young? Old? Bitter? Socialist or CrewCut? Utopian or realist?

I'll try to break the ice a bit: white male, 22, Canada, FineArts ex-pat
turned CompSci near-grad, downtempo and raregroove on the weekends,
csound, php and java development on the weekdays. Left-leaning (Harpers,
not New Republic), piano-playing, community-oriented, social. Curious
why so many people use RedHat.

(Just an experiment)

cheers,
Matt
