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.

Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

    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.

        They use Linux From Scratch and build from source. Bring it on, OSS world! Total control.
