linux use in the area Re: ecommerce hosting services]

[Aaron]

I have over 150 Linux machines I do webhosting on and I attend the ILUG
meetings sometimes.  I just never have time to hit a KCLUG meeting.

Does anyone else find it odd that all of these local shops we keep
hearing about are using Linux and no one from them every comes to our
LUG meetings or participates in the mailing list? Are people who are
using Linux for business not interested in the geek factor? Who's
running these things?

Are people that participate in LUGs a niche even within the Linux niche?
