As an example take into account someone who uses Ubuntu and someone else who uses Gentoo, though it's still Linux, Gentoo requires a much more advanced user. I'm not sure but probably it could be useful for your research to understand what sort of Linux user (beginner, intermediate, advanced...) is interested in Haiku/BeOS. Seems very true to me. Take my example: through last 6-8 years I (albeit lazily) searched for some replacement for BeOS, going from one to another OS/distribution. And guess what - I stumble upon DesktopBSD LiveCD, which almost won as a "BeOS" for my taste, with its' simplicity and friendliness AND, of course, with BeOS-like skin, which name I can't remember clearly now, maybe "Plastic" or "Milk". Oh, and hello to everyone. :) /Flame. Yet another old time, but quiet, BeOS lover. :)
