While I'm sure people of all ages utilize Ubuntu, I'm guessing its core demographic is ages 20-30.

I began using Linux when I was 19, I'm 22 now.
My brother began quickly after me, he was 16 and got me using Ubuntu.

I had been trying to use Linux since around 2001 when I first heard of it but due to not having broadband at the time never managed to obtain it. (I tried but always failed for some reason... 100mb was a lot to download over 56k and was choosing distro's based on size rather than quality... I'm glad I failed to obtain anything... my experience would have been horrible no doubt.)

I'm 18,
yep
I started using it when I was 17...
yep
I heard of Linux when I was 16 though, but didn't want to DL it, since my internet was slow then.
yep
I am the only person around me (well aside from my family now that I converted them) that uses Linux.

...yep

I'm 16 and have use I do believe I've tried about 20 different distro's more than once but I've finally got my configuration set up the way I like it. I'm going to put xubuntu 8.04 on my laptop once it comes out when it's stabled and leave pclinuxos2007 on my desktop forever. Runs nice and smooth, heck, I'm on it right now.
