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.

My mom uses Linux (Ubuntu)
My GF uses Linux (Ubuntu) at home and at work. She owns a pet-shop and there I've setup LTSP for three terminals.
Yeah. I think they're pretty normal.
Stop thinking about Linux as an OS for engineers. I find Windows way more complicated, so I could ask you: does "normal" people uses/understand Windows????
