Hello Mississippi Ubuntu users! We now have our own subforum here at the official Ubuntu Forums :D

Feel free to post anything here relating to local events and whatnot in our community, however please continue using the regular forums for help questions and such.

Great to see this LoCo group getting off the ground. I had been thinking about starting one for a while, but never got the motivation to get it going! Thanks for your work, and I look forward to helping in whatever way you need me to!

it is nice to see that there are others in MS using ubuntu. i live in gulfport. whenever i mention ubuntu to my friends here I always get strange looks!

I wrote someone about the group already at USM. I also signed up for the mailing list.

I have been using ubuntu for awhile and really had no idea there were others around here that used it.

Hey, I'm originally from Hattiesburg, MS. Didn't ever know there were people in Mississippi would know about linux and the such. Ok, maybe I did but I got involved after I left. I am in the Air Force and stationed in the arctic north known as Nebraska currently. I hope you don't mind me being a member still since I am a Mississippian at heart still.

Nice to see a local group. I'm also in Hattiesburg, working at USM. HH on a ThinkPad T42 and it went smooth as silk...

Hello Everyone,

I am in Ocean Springs and work in Long Beach, (that's Gulf Coast Mississippi, not freakin' California :lolflag: )

I did not know there was a local support team. I am currently supporting T-9 computers and Blade Computers with CD's/materials and trying to get them to start selling pre-loaded machines.

If you are in the Gulf Coast region, maybe we can pool resources.

I'm in Gulfport also so there's two of us down here. I started using Linux just this year. I had Ubuntu on an old machine and I'm looking for a replacement while at the same time trying to convince people Linux works and works good. I don't know anyone else using Ubuntu and it would be good to have someone local to talk to.
