Introduction

I'm happily using Ubuntu right now. Prior to that, I was using FC6. Prior to that, an unfortunate incident with Debian Woody... But that's behind me now. I'd like to meet more people that think and use Linux.

What J Norment is saying about this Meetup Group

There is a lot that can be gained from meeting in person. Linux, in my opinion, is very strong in choice and adaptability, but at a cost of the kind of documentation and exposure that other OS users are used to. Many hours of frustration can be circumvented by getting together in the same room as people that have met and struggled with particular solutions similar to your own. Once you know where to find things in Linux, the OS is just as usable, if not much more -- as most of the software that you would want to run is without cost and downloaded from repositories that people all over the world work to safeguard.
