A good pointer for those of you who don't know all the Jargon is:

http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/

There is a hard-bound version of it called "The New Hacker's Dictionary".

I will be happy to buy a copy of this book for the group, if someone will bring
it to the meetings.  You can put it up on a podium for all to use.

And when you are at a meeting, and are lost in the Jargon, ask the person
to please explain what they are talking about.  One of the tenants of the
Linux User Group is that we help newcomers understand what is going on,
even if it means we have to slow down our conversations a bit, IYKWIM.
