Linux User Groups
A good way to learn more about Linux and become more a part of the Linux community is to hook
up with a Linux User Group (LUG). LUGs tend to come and go, so you might have to do some
work to track one down in your area. Here are some places to start your search:
Google (www.google.com/linux)??”I found both of the LUGs I??™ve been associated
with by using Google to search for the word ???Linux??? and the city closest to where I was
living.
Linux Meetup Groups (linux.meetup.com)??”Enter your ZIP code to search for the
nearest LUG in your area.
Linux Online (www.linux.org/groups)??”Offers a large, international list of Linux
User Groups. Select your country to see a list of available groups.
If there is no Linux User Group in your area, you might consider starting one. To get information
on what LUGs are all about and some suggestions about starting one, refer to the Linux User
Group HOWTO (www.tldp.org/HOWTO/User-Group-HOWTO.html).
