[PLUG] How to find a LOCAL Linux group?

[Richard Owlett]

Is there an index of geographically oriented Linux groups?
I'm interested in Southwest Missouri {particularly Springfield}.
Particular interest is minimalist Debian installations on refurbished 
laptops. [e.g. When I surf, it is with JavaScript and cookies disabled.]

Thank you.

P.S. I date from vacuum tube era -- anyone remember CORC/CUPL from "far 
above Cayuga's waters ;}
