I actually know several (nine) 'old time Linux' users and some are ex

Yes. I know. However, there's always a few grains of wheat mixed in
with the chaff; the trick is to figure out which suggestions to follow.
Generally, however, I've found that for somebody like me who knows
something about Linux and just needs distro-specific advice, that's not
too hard.
Here you will see the latest usage numbers.

Interesting, and roughly twice what the Linux Counter suggests:

My guess is that your reference counts servers, because mine gets most
of its numbers from webserver hit logs.
I really *do not know* exactly what the usage number means. But I do
'know' that - or think that putting 'grandma' over to Linux, IMHO, would
not be a good idea. :-)
Meh. My mom (nearly 70) and my daughters (6 and 10) all use Linux. My
support level with them is orders of magnitude lower than it was when
they ran Windows. It's also a Hell of a lot easier to fix stuff on their
Linux boxen than it ever was with Windows.
