Well, I'm a software tester, although all my previous jobs were
programming. Unfortunately, they don't use Debian here, just that other
distro named after a coloured head covering.
My wife also does Unix stuff, on Solaris (at least until her contract
ends), but so far I haven't got her onto Debian at home (still need to
set up a lot of stuff I've already got working under that other OS).
But the majority of her study was in Physics, so I guess you could
almost say she has a non IT background.
Another friend of mine who I know runs Debian is a programmer too.
So, anecdotally, yes, most Debian users are IT people :)
