...for Ubuntu beginners... tip-sharing, social, install lab, whatever. Part of our Linux Guru Incubator series, the place to go to get to know Ubuntu Linux better.

If you're new to Ubuntu, Linux, or are just contemplating switching to it as your Desktop operating system, come hang out with us. We'll be discussing all the pros & cons, and sharing the coolest tips & tricks, troubleshooting issues, and even doing install labs. One thing's for sure: If you're new to Ubuntu, you WILL learn some useful stuff here. Soon, YOU'll be considered the resident guru. And if you're already an old hack at Linux, please come and share your joy and love of Linux with a whole new generation of average people who are just getting started with it on their desktop. Evangelize! :-)

I've got a LONG way to go before I can be called GURU.

  “ I got the feeling that most of the people there had some knowledge of Linux, and even of Ubuntu, which is both good and bad. Good, because I could pick their brains for answers to questions I had and bad, because it wasn't aimed at beginners. I was a bit disappointed that the laptop hosting Ubuntu was not connected to the TV that was there. It would have made it a more interesting demo. It was difficult to see what was going on on the laptop. All in all, I thought they were a great bunch of folks and I enjoyed it very much... ”
