null Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Just the mailing list so far. Haven't been to any meetings (they hold them monthly at a local college). I hope it works out for me. I will be happy if its noobie friendly, and not just a bunch of linux system administrators talking about intrusion detection and stuff like that... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Actually I have joined one of my local LUG committee recently; we have more plans to promote the Penguin in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 I've been a member of my local LUG for about two years now, I'm not a regular at the meetings but the mailing list is a good source of info. It also let me draw a horny penguin :lol: http://www.york.lug.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 I go to the monthly lug meetings here at my school pretty regularly. Its fun. I always learn something, and occasionally, I'm the expert. And thats worth the trip right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 How can you find out if there is a LUG near you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Try here... http://www.linux.org/groups/ This list is not exhaustive. If you can't find somewhere near, try www.google.com/linux and search for LUG and your locality... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 as spiny suggested... I just googled linux +LUG +"my city" first hits were a LUG right here in my own city... (anything I want to know, I just google it... :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'll probably go to the next meeting (November) just to see what its like. I hope its not people sitting down and listening to a speaker for the whole meeting. I'd rather it be a "social occasion" where everyone is walking around talking about linux and picking up tips & tricks here and there... As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words...". So if someone actually shows me on a computer how something works, I would learn much more than just reading a bunch of threads here. Not to say I don't learn anything here... I do !!
