It was a woman who introduced me to Linux. I never thought I could talk about computers more than anyone else, but she would out do me. This was back in 1997. She said that Linux is the future and eventually thought that her kids would be saying stuff like "My mom has been using linux since since 2 0 3 0" (2.0.30).
My wife has been using Linux for the past 3 years and is getting pretty good at it. She really likes a lot of the applications and the fact that a community of people work together to develop them.
On top of that, there where two women Linux users at the latest <A HREF="http://www.bloomingtonlinux.org/" title="bloomingtonlinux.org">BLUG</a bloomingtonlinux.org> meeting that we held. I was taken by surprise when one of the the nice looking girls told me about her attempts to get the nvidia driver working with the 2.6 kernel. 8-)
Its refreshing to see that we are a diverse crowd because honestly, its hard to see sometimes. When I was a music major, I was surrounded by people of all walks of life, races and backgrounds, I really miss that.
