Newbie here! Running Linux openSUSE 13.1_i586 GNOME on an old 32-bit Toshiba machine.

Re: Linux Fans?
I have been using various Linux distroes over the years, starting with Slackware 3.5 running on a 25MHz Olivetti 486SX with 4MB RAM starting back in 1998. Not currently running Linux though.
Re: Linux Fans?
I use linux for various purposes, not a big fan though,
untangle for firewall and filtering
ubuntu for a moodle server
unbuntu for a web server.

Not really a fan, nor a fan of Windows, Macs or anything else.
The missus uses Ubuntu - maybe 13.04? Anyway, the one with 'Unity' - on my oldest, lamest laptop. She's fine with it, and all the little nieces and nephews who visit have zero problems. They run Firefox and play games.
Stuck Mint 14 on the laptop that drives my TV for movies and such after the kids figured out how to crank up Chrome and get to the gaming websites.
This may be contrary to the popular view of Linux as being for geeks, but when naive users are running my PCs, I'd rather they use Linux. It's harder for them to screw up. They can browse, watch videos, play games, etc. but they can't break much.
I used embedded Linux and Eclipse on one of my last firmware projects and it was pretty nice.
If you're just visiting, there must be more interesting things things to do than geek out about operating systems.
