Ubuntu support in SW Missouri?

[Richard Owlett]

I live in Springfield, MO.
Only Linux users group I knew of died due to lack of interest.

I looked for a hardware/software vendor. All I found was someone 
willing to sell me hardware, charge me for Windows(tm), charge me 
for a Linux distro, charge me for installing Linux. Guess what 
company will _NEVER_ get my business. *LOL* ;/

An acquaintance, knowing how I think, has recommended Ubuntu.

Comments?
TIA
