You might want to extend that, add FreeBSD and OpenBSD to your analysis... and maybe BeOS and AmigaDOS as well, if you can find any...

Here's the FreeBSD list:

Entwine
No Doubt
Nickelback
Dispatch
Apollo 440
Bob Marley
Chumbawamba
Sonata Arctica
Vaya Con Dios
Billy Joel

Hmm, good point. Thought about it but then saw a note in the Linux group that says "Join if you use Linux. Remember to join the group specific to your Distro too!". Figured it wouldn't make much of a difference, but clearly I was wrong. Chumbawamba changes everything.

Um, Cameron, FreeBSD isn't Linux. Not even closely related.

The NT kernel probably has more code in common with FreeBSD than the Linux kernel.

Ack! Yes, of course. It's 1:30 am here in Japan so that's my excuse. Chumbawamba still changes everything, though.

I'm a Linux user

I like classical myself.

Listen to Fingal's Cave.

Jay Chou is a popular R&B artist from Taiwan. He has great appeal among young teenagers (because of his *cool* look and somewhat musical talent) and people who are in their 20s (because of his songs, which are popular picks for people when they go to karaoke) his songs range from slow ballad songs, to usher-like R&B songs

I have to say that I find myself liking bands from the Linux list as well. I'm thinking, though, that it's because of the nature of OSX. I am able to (and do) use both OSX programs and Unix/Linux open source programs. I run X11 and OSX on top of each other almost every time I turn on my computer.

But otherwise, it's mostly right. I can't believe how accurate it is.

I posted a link to this on another forum, and got this response:

I think he's secretly "The Fonz". :)

FreeBSD "top moods":

Exuberant, Freewheeling, Passionate, Reflective, Bittersweet, Theatrical, and Rousing.

Hi Cameron!

John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, Visqueen, Ted Leo, Dufus, Charles Lloyd, Patti Smith, Drive-By Truckers, Cecil Taylor, Robyn Hitchcock, Mikey General, James McMurtry, even Tom Waits is missing. (This without naming anyone dead.)

I guess I'm not meant to use computers... ...or maybe something different is going into VB.

Heh. I was just talking to a guy at work about this. he asked... "where's all the C&W". "Oh, that'd be Tru64 users..."

(no, I haven't analysed the musical tastes of Tru64 users, all five of them besides me...)

Cette nuit, en surfant deci-del, je suis tomb sur une petite tude bien amusante. Il s'agit d'analyser les gots musicaux des utilisateurs de diffrents systmes d'exploitation, et d'en tirer quelques conclusions sur leurs traits de caractre....
