I'd bet a rather large amount of money that you're in the *majority*
of Unix-like system users.  It might be different for Windows and Mac
users.

Anyway, Monty has spoken: Xiph gets only one extension from IANA, and
that's .ogg, so they can't advocate anything else even if they wanted
to, which they don't.

So the rest of us get to use whatever works.  To me, it looks like the
winner is .ogv.  Anyone want to come up with a mime-type so I can update
my Apache config files?  (Not that I actually have any Theora files
yet; but I will eventually.)
