[NBLUG/talk] Hello

[ME]

Hello Nadina,

Welcome to NBLUG!

You probably know about our website (http://www.nblug.org/), and of
course, you know about this mailing list. Make sure you also subscribe to
the "announce" list if you have not yet subscribed to it. (It has very low
traffic -- 1-3 messages per month.) The announce list tells you about our
upcomming meetings, and other events like Installfests.

If you have ever installed Windows or MacOS, installing many Linux distros
is not much more work. Many people install Linux on their own, while
others have the skills necessary to install Linux, but find it is more
comfortable to have a skilled user around to ask questions.

Greg is our installfest coordinator, and he directed our last installfest.
You'll probably hear an announcement from him in a few months as we get
the specifics finalized.

Our next installfest is tentatively planned for some Saturday in Saptember
at SSU in Rohnert Park. (Or regular monthly discussions are in Sebastapol,
but installfests are at SSU.) More on this later.

If you have questions about Linux, this is a place to post them. Though
using google to search for answers is a *very* good resource, sometimes it
is helpful to get a push in the right direction and we have some very
skilled and experienced people on this list.

Feel free to post your questions or even offer comments on interesting
things about Linux.

Hope you can attend our meetings, and we'll see you there!
