ASHLAND — Twenty-six Amish who refused to pay their fines for violating a law that requires flashing lights on their buggies appeared in court on Friday.

The Amish actually do use technology, but they can’t use it unless there’s no other alternative, for example word processing.

Also, they tend to use Linux.

That’s a broad statement. Different sects and communities have different levels of what they consider acceptable.

I’m assuming only Gentoo, right? Compiling libraries you will never need is the height of decadence.
