Hello,

This is a rather strange e-mail for these mailing
lists, I know. I am a third year Social Anthropology
student in the University of Durham doing my
dissertation (thesis) on the Anthropology of
GNU/Linux. I would really appreciate if you could help
me out and offer some of your time to fill in the
questionnaire below- it will only take 2 minutes.
Replies will be confidential and everything in the
dissertation will be anonymous. Results will be
e-mailed to participants upon request.

Thanks in advance, and... enjoy!
Maria Kastrinou
