Lots of people are afraid to ask questions that might make you think they are uninformed. So not asking does not imply knowledge of Linux :-) However, I find that any reasonably educated 20-something these days knows what Linux is. My whole family uses Linux, and now they tell people about it too. But, it is still a very hostile OS to the user and that's why it has not permeated the masses yet.
