Don't forget the InstallFest today!

Come down and get help, give help, learn and socialize.  I'll make an
appearance for a while this morning with a bunch of Ubuntu CD sets.
Come down to meet, mingle, teach and learn.

> The Phoenix Linux User Group is the local Linux user's group (LUG) for the
> Phoenix area.  Like any other computer user group, it is populated by
> hobbyists and computer professionals, and provides a forum for discussion.
> Unlike many other computer user groups, LUGs also provide the same 
> functions
> as a "regional office" for IBM, Macintosh, Microsoft, or Sun; they have the
> responsibility to train, support, and educate Linux users, coordinate Linux
> consultants, advocate Linux as a computing solution, and serve as
> liaison  to
> local news outlets.  Because Linux is Free Software or Open Source 
> software,
> LUGs are entirely volunteer based.  PLUG holds several monthly
> meetings:  one
> in the southwest Phoenix area, one in Glendale, one in Mesa, and one in 
> Tempe.
> PLUG membership is free and anyone may join.  PLUG also welcomes users and
> fans of all Free Software and Open Source Software such as GNU and FreeBSD.
