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>.
