[TriLUG] Newbie question about membership...

[Cristobal Palmer]

More non-official greetings, Chad!

I've never met a chummier group of geeks. As long as you're polite and
respectful (and google a bit before you start asking questions), you'll
always find people on this list willing to help nudge you along the path to
Linux nirvana. Tux does resemble a seated Buddha a bit, doesn't he?

Also note that there's an equally-chummy IRC channel: #trilug on
irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net>
