Well, maybe it's time to subdivide the definition of 'linux community'.  I
say that anyone who uses linux is part of the community, but if you're
actively contributing to it, either by testing, writing docs, writing
code, or whatever, then you're sort of a 'charter member' or somesuch.

BTW, can you toggle the 'linux community bit' with chmod?
