A couple of the best places to get help are on the IRC channels. You can install xchat from Add/Remove or from Synaptic to connect to the channels.. The server address is irc.freenode.net. Once there type "/join #ubuntu" and/or "/join #ubuntu-california". The ubuntu channel will link you with over 1,000 people asking questions and giving answers in real time.. The ubuntu-california channel is another good spot for live Q&A with most of the Calif. members logged in a one point or another throughout the day. Another good spot is <A HREF="http://www.ubuntuforums.org">www.ubuntuforums.org</A>.

Cal. And have ver. 8.10 64bit. I am probably not in the right place for questions and answers of a technical nature based on what I have been reading also I am really new to Ubuntu. I like what I see and functionality is very good so far, I keep thinking I am going to email from my Ubuntu machine but I setup my main email account there and always see your posts when I am on my work, Win XP Pro 32bit machine. My questions are ranging from installing Crossfire which the nice people at codeweavers will probably help me with and I am not sure I really want to play Windows games on there anyway. I installed peer guardian and now can't find it I also have tor button don't know how or when to use it, so you see I am good at boxing myself into corners I don't yet know how to get out of. So I need help being told where to go ... well you know suggestions and I really do like how clean and quick Ubuntu is it starts and it's ready to go not like Windows that starts and it's busy for minutes doing something for somebody while I wait :-) Neill Lehr Thank you for your patience and kindness. -----Original Message----- From: <A HREF="mailto:ubuntu-us-ca-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-us-ca-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com</A> [<A HREF="mailto:ubuntu-us-ca-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com">mailto:ubuntu-us-ca-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com</A>] On Behalf Of Grant Bowman Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 6:39 PM To: Ubuntu US California Subject: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Open-source uptake on the rise Christian Einfeldt twittered this and I just got around to reading it.
