While traversing about the web this afternoon, I came across a rather funny subject title for a forum post. The person asked if any "normal" people use Linux, but went on to ask forgiveness for the lack of a better word than "normal." He wonders if anyone who isn't an open source, uber-geeky, stay-up-until-dawn-exploring-code fanatic actually uses Linux. Though the congregation here at OSNews is (obviously) comprised of very many of the aforementioned fanatics (in a sense; wear the title with pride), I also believe there to be many readers who are more or less "normal," for the lack of a better word, and plenty who may fall in between both spectrums of nerdiness.

Every time they check their email.
Oh, but that's using linux because it's serving up their IMAP mailbox, authenticating their accounts with OpenLDAP.
But still, if you ask me, it counts. They may not know they're using it, but they are at some point logging into a linux server to retrieve their email.
