For one thing, the poll can only measure anything about the population that knows about it. That population is a very small percentage of the Fedora users. And there is no reason to assume that population is representative of Fedora users. I too have years of academic studies, and I even graduated from a very respectable institution with an advanced degree :) Bernd -- Bernd Stramm <bernd.stramm@xxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
