<font face="Times New Roman">Hi Linux Australia,<br>
As a long-term member of Pine Rivers Computer Club Inc. I have
taken up a challenge to research Linux in an effort to overcome
the sodden-following of Microsoft members who just seem to think
Linux is just a foreign language.<br>
Am having some success as having been on this exercise since last
July; tried Ubuntu but now have a liking for Linux Mint series, am
now seek additional advice and help to bolster my enthusiasm. Is
there a Linux Users Group in Brisbane area. I live in Kallangur!
<br>
While starting out many moons ago with Windows, have progressed to
'Open use' computer system while XP based. I have always been
prepared to go against the norm to expand ideas in computing.<br>
Luckily, our current President does have some Linux-background and
has been most helpful. 'We' are gradually getting members to look
at Our screens on monthly Workshop days and surprise; surprise, I
am receiving a few questions as a result.<br>
With over 250 members and mainly windows-associated over the
Years, our President suggested all this Linux stuff to me as a way
of introducing new thinking into the Club.<br>
So, HELP please! Can you assist me?<br>
regards Geoff Isaac member #422<br>
