It's my personal opinion that the degeneration into geek social night isn't really a fringe benefit. However, Max if you want to get the most from your experience come regularly to the thursday nights prepared with questions and preferably your computer, even if it is a tower. Perhaps your first question you have your computer and you say how do I install linux? Next, how do I configure my sound and video? How can I get on the internet, how can I send and receive email, how can I mount my nt drives in linux..

You'll learn far faster bringing your questions to the clinic and the list. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out on your own until you have developed your foundation. Come to the clinic and the list as often as you have a question. Later when you are more experienced with it you won't be so dependent upon the lug. When will this be? When people ask a question on the list and *you* answer it.
