I feel the need to reply, although I am not exactly in the "immediate local".
I live in Philomath, which is a fair distance (~90 mi) from OSDL, but I'm
mere minutes from the OSU Open Source Lab ( http://osuosl.org/ ).
Re: average users -
Some of my family members know what Linux is, a couple of them
would recognize it only as some "computer thing" I had mentioned
before, and one uses it, but might be hard pressed to explain exactly
what an OS is. I doubt anyone in my father's family has heard of Linux.
My brother on the other hand has used it at school and may set up a
Linux file server soon. (Gamer + in school learning .NET with VS
means he is not likely to switch his desktop.)
Cheers,
Kelly
