Not many to None.

Actually I had a similar experience to Ken, yesterday, with a couple who run a small business.

From what I've seen, it depends on the age of the tech. All of them under the age of 25 that I talk to have at least some knowledge of Linux. I may have a small sample, but Linux is now the cool thing, with knowledge of Ubuntu in particular being necessary to be a 'real' geek.

Three years ago I couldn't have said that.
