I doubt I will ever be proficient in Linux. Perhaps I am too old or just not willing to put in all the time it takes (I bought a Mac a couple years ago and wasn't willing to put in the time to learn a new OS). Anyway, I have a few old computers that I want to convert to Xubuntu and give to my 3 kids (autistic boy 17 and 11 and 14 year old daughters) to use at their mother's house. They live with her. I can do everything but install Wifi cards (PCI or USB). Their mother has Wifi and a computer is fairly useless to a kid without the Internet. I am trying to find someone or some store with Linux expertise sufficient to install Wifi cards (I have several cards that I have used with Windows machines, but am willing to buy new cards if necessary). I live in Pomona, CA and would like someone close, if possible, but am willing to drive to find (preferably a store) someone who could help me. I am very willing to pay a reasonable fee. I even heard about the So. Cal. Linux Expo by LAX, and thought I would go there until I saw that it's the same weekend that I'm getting married (not the way to start a new marriage). </td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div> No I would think so :P I'm not from California, but if you don't manage to find someone on this list, you might want to give it a try with the California local Ubuntu team: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam</a> That said, mostly (when it works) wireless cards don't need to be "installed" - when you got Xubuntu running they're supposed to work. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;" valign="top"> I'm sure there must be some user, or preferably some Linux store that could help me.
