[ILUG] Straw Poll of Linux "Users"

[Ian Swainson]

     I'm speaking at LAID on Saturday, and it would be really helpful to me 
     if I could just get a rough idea of the amount of non-technical Linux 
     users who are out there. Please could you mail me (off-list if you 
     prefer) if you are, or know of, anyone who uses Linux as part of their 
     work *and* has no technical knowledge of the system - a pure 'User' in 
     other words. Please mail me if you consider yourself a Linux 'User' 
     and not a Linux 'Developer'. I'm looking for people who (for example) 
     wouldn't know what to do with the command-line, work entirely in GUI 
     etc etc. Granted, such people are probably not members of these lists, 
     but if you know of such users, please let me know. I'm not interested 
     in contacting any of them, I just want a (very approximate) idea of 
     numbers.
     
     Thanks for your time,
     Ian Swainson
     
     PS. I have posted this to both the ILUG and the CLUG. My apologies to 
     those on both lists who get this twice...
