I filled it out, but to be blunt - this survey complete stinks.  Questions like:

"The Linux platform can perform complex tasks using various
knowledge."

What the !(*&$*(!(* does that even mean?  Please don't publish, or use,
any results from this survey as they will be complete junk.

(a) The "Linux platform" doesn't "perform complex
tasks".  Users do,
applications do, maybe.  What is a "complex task"?
(b) "?using various knowledge".  Eh?  Do you mean it requires
"various
knowledge" to set it up / configure it?  Still: Eh?  What is "various
knowledge"?
