Dear Kathy (and newest Ubuntu-SC member!), Welcome to the South Carolina Ubuntu Team!!! Sure, let me get you some links to get you started (and I'll go ahead and approve you membership). The greatest resources (top two) in my opinion on Ubuntu's side, and Team S.C.'s side, are: The Ubuntu Forums: <a href="http://www.ubuntuforums.org/">http://www.ubuntuforums.org/</a> With our little home at: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=311">http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=311</a> (Ubuntu South Carolina Forums) And the Ubuntu Wiki: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/</a> With our little home at: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SouthCarolinaTeam">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SouthCarolinaTeam</a> And finally, click here to join our mailing list: The Wiki page and our Forum page list upcoming meetings times on IRC (which you can access by using the link on <a href="http://www.ubuntusc.com/">http://www.ubuntusc.com/</a> ) or by using an IRC client. Help on these are on the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=311">Ubuntu South Carolina Forums</a>. Please introduce yourself and always feel free to ask for help or ANY topic ANY time :-) We welcome it and we encourage activity :-) Thanks for joining, xq / Craig Huffstetler <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 6:26 AM, Kathryn Gallagher <<a href="mailto:kathygal@embarqmail.com">kathygal@embarqmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have wanted to get into Linux for a long time.  Ubuntu 8.04 was too good to pass up.  I"m in learning and hoping to encourage and help others any way possible....
