<div>Thanks for your replies so far. Can I point out that I'm
actually in North East England, in the UK in Europe. Some of
you seem to have misread this. Hadrian's Wall starts about
60km (some 35 miles) north of where I live.</div>

I know where that is - at least I can point to it from a map -
almost a foreign country to me ;)<br>

<div>I've already learned some things which aren't readily
accessible to the uninitiated from Elfy's reply - thanks for
this, I'll try them shortly. I've been trying to find a local
group or list to contact. Somehow I can't have phrased my
questions right on Google because none of this info came up
when I looked for it. </div>

Much of what I posted I didn't actually look for - I knew where it
was.<br>
<br>
However as far a LUG's go - I just searched for LUG <br>
<br>
You'll see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lug.org.uk/">http://lug.org.uk/</a> there somewhere.<br>
<br>
Once there you can search for closer to you.<br>
<br>
But to be honest you might be better searching more specifically,
say for <br>
<br>
linux user group newcastle<br>
<br>
However - all that said - you might be better of going for the UK
Ubuntu LoCo - perhaps the mailing list. IRC can be a bit manic and
fast at times. <br>
