[TriLUG] help?==> Basic Linux class

[jonc]

Well Grant,

I'm your man. I live on the command line. But don't worry, I'll wrangle
some young kid to show us the GUI way as well.

Matt is reserving us some space out in the Triangle. We'll convene on an
undesignated Saturday next month (depending on the availability of the
facilities).

So gird yourself up for next month. Bring your most embarrassing
questions. We won't laugh - and, your dark uncertainties will be
replaced by the light of knowledge!
