Okay, so not much has changed since I left.

Agreed.  In fact I'd replace "not much" with "no" in your sentence 
above.  I've always been a bit surprised with how poorly that network 
did, and how little traffic there is in the Linux echo.  Quite a few 
folks are using Linux these days but nobody seems real interested in 
chatting about it.  Not what I would expect.

Thanks for the update.
