I have started a group on facebook UBUNTU ( LINUX ) I am trying to get people in my community to see that there is a option when it comes to a Windows operating system and I am trying to let it be like a help desk to help some get started in Ubuntu. I can answer a few simple questions but I also can steer them in the right way to get answers.
i would love it if some of you guys would join and help me out give me ideas if you are interested I would make you an Admin if it works out.
I don't need smart alec pepole because that will turn them away fast.
And if you want to do the same thing I will be glad to help you out.
Here is the link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...id=86212481914 (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2011017&id=1228383488#/group.php?gid=86212481914)


I could use a lot of ideas.
Thanks
David

This might be "smart alec" of me, but there already were about a half-dozen Ubuntu groups within Facebook (I'm a member of at least one). You might also get better results if you don't immediately tell people they better watch it or you're going to turn them away... especially smartypants like me.

Good luck anyhow.

I don't understand this comment please explain.
I have looked the group over and didn't find where I told someone that they had better watch anything.
I am up for suggestions though.
This Ubuntu group is dealing with people that I come in contact with on a regular bases so this ubuntu group isn't just another Group, it is for people that I know personally. and I have invited you guys from here in Ubuntu world to help and be a part of it.

die facebook die!

Facebook recently had two job openings for Linux administrators, and they have an excellent benefits program and job perks. If I wasn't so happy in my current job, I would have definitely applied. Either way, The last thing we need is more technical jobs in the US to go away, and facebook lives and dies by IT, so they can live IMO.
