It is in your fridge, so it is food related.

I'm sitting here as one of the 1% who have Linux on the desktop

Happy Birthday!

I've been running ubuntu for a few years too, and I love it. Half the computers in the house are ubuntu, the other half are Windows XP and Windows 7.

But how is Linux in my fridge ?

ottawafoodies.com was built on Debian Linux, and it ran nicely on that in my basement for the first 3.5 years of its existence. It is now running happily at a hosting company on CentOS (based on Redhat Linux).

So our heritage is Linux through and through. :-)

The article says that a lot of those new smart fridges are linux based. So it is only in your fridge if you have a smart fridge ;-)

Did'yoo guys hear about that study citing a correlation between intelligence and your choice of internet browser?
I bet the same applies to OSs.

That study was discovered to be an elaborate prank! Intelligence aside, there's likely a correlation between technical knowledge and choice of internet browser and OS. :-)

Awesome! Glad to see other Linuxers around here. Before getting a macbook pro, I was running Ubuntu on one pc and Linux Mint (which is based on ubuntu) on another. I have had redhat, and debian in the past - as a computer geek in highschool.

Apple pisses me off quite a bit, but for music production nothing beats it, period. Hence my switch to mac.

well..... Mac is unix-based, so I guess it's not too far off. If I had it my way, everyone would be on linux and it would garner the hardware and software support it deserves.

Linux is loaded on my desktop and my netbook! Woot!

Wow -- really surprised by the number of Linux users here. Although I guess there are some similarities between foodies and Linux users (religious flamewars over restaurants vs religions flamewars over distros/text editors/licenses; sharing recipes vs sharing code; drooling over new cooking tools vs drooling over new hardware).

I myself have been using Linux exclusively for my desktop for ages (and was even a Debian developer for a number of years).

Linux everywhere! No wonder you guys are all so ornery ;)

I use many different browsers- so not sure what that says bout me ;)

My fridge is the old fashion kind- the one that does not work very well and is almost broken.

No linux,but still using windows xp

WinXP performs better than Win 7 IMHO. There is also an unofficial Service Pack 4 you can download for it, that installs all the recommended hotfixes since Service Pack 3.

I'm on android most of the time, does that count? I have a laptop that is mostly just gathering dust these days, I think I'll try installing linux again. Last time I screwed up and had to format my hd! Anyway, heading to art is in now!

I miss SunOS. (Just kidding, the advent of Linux completely changed the power computing environment - even if the os is a bit flaky - depending on who's build you are using)

A little late to the table, but count me in as another foodie Linux user. I've been using Linux (currently openSUSE) exclusively since well back into the last millenium... I started with it when the 1.0 kernel came out in 1994. My desktop machine is also a mail/web/PVR/media server... probably not a good idea to try doing all that with Windows.

To bring it back to the foodie theme, Linux is tastier, more affordable, and less filling!
