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. :-)
Actually, that's a good population, they want to do simple things, generally not
play games, do course assignments, and such. For browsing, mail, etc, it's easy
to use, stable, and more secure than Windows. And you can have the system do
network backup without telling them, a big bonus.
