Free help for linux

With the recent rash of linux/EMC posts looking for help I feel it would
be helpful to let you guys know that quite possibly in your local area
is a linux user group (LUG). They should have regular meetings (once a
month) and also regularly scheduled installfests, these are days when
you can bring in your PC and have one on one help with your install or
just watch and learn more to see if you are interested, all for free.
Our user group in San Diego, Ca. meets on the second thursday of each
month and the installfest happens the following saturday from 8am to
4pm. Most Lugs should follow this format. I'm sure you will be suprised
at the "all are welcome" attitude and how much personal help is
available. I am sure EMC will generate a lot of interest at these
groups, here is a link to see if a there is a group near you:

Here is ours in san diego:

looks like they are just redoing the site so more info should be added
soon, read the installfest checklist on the installfest link as soon as
they get it up there, to give you an idea of how it goes, I'll bug the
guys tonight about getting it up on the site:
