[frego]

Hello fellow Ubuntu Montanans! Billings here.

[bodhi.zazen]

Welcome Frego ...

Nice to see Billings :p

I think we have one from each of the major metro's

billings, missoula, Bozeman, and I'm in Helena :p

[MontanaMax]

I grew up in Helena, Winston, and York - moved east a few years ago however. :(

I do get back on occasion to visit family, and would love to visit a loco meeting when I'm there!

[SendDerek]

Mark another one down for Billings! ;)

Actually, I'm living in Rexburg, ID for right now, but like MontanaMax, I visit family there occasionally.

Ubuntu's on two dual-booted computers, my laptop and my wifes desktop. And although she doesn't use it very often, I love my Ubuntu environment! I'm looking forward to Fiesty!

I feel I should put my latest desktop screenie here:

Later!

[Pikestaff]

Hi all Montana Ubuntu-ites... I think it's neat that we have a variety of cities from Montana reprsented! :D

SendDerek, might I inquire if you are in Rexberg for school? If so, I know several people who are there as well ;)

[SendDerek]

Yup! Just like you said, pikestaff, I'm here in Rexburg going to school at BYU-Idaho. Hopefully I'll be getting my Electrical and Computer Engineering degree in the next 2 years! Thanks for "inquire-ing"!

[bodhi.zazen]

I also know where Rexburg is :)

Nice to see all the Montana users. Lets see if we can organize into a more cohesive group.

[Worzie]

Just popping in to say hi from Billings.

I'm originally from Anaconda but have now lived most of my adult life here in blgs. I'm a strong Linux Advocate supporting all of MT.

Hope to chat more with you all on the IRC.

[cfmcguire]

Hello from Butte. Been messing with Linux for some years now, but not much more than a novice. Just installed Ubuntu on a dual core AMD machine that I built over the winter. Pretty anti-climactic. It just worked. No bloodshed, no profanity, no command line. I go to the Helena LUG meetings most of the time, having grown up there. (Nice to visit mom once in a while). Just attended my first Bozeman LUG meeting this month. First contact with MSU computing since Xerox Sigma 7 and punch cards. TTFN

Welcome cfmcguire ;)

Yea the Bozeman LUG is awesome. Hope to make to one of their meetings in the near future. We have a LUG in Helena as well, although it is not as active.

Feel free to come on by our irc (you will recognize some of the LUG group there as well).

[jkessler]

I hail from Plentywood. Not new to linux, but new to Ubuntu, and new to Montana.

Hi everyone.

[bodhi.zazen]

awesome, welcome

Also welcome to any new users who saw the digg article as well ...

[jsgarvin]

Just adding myself to the list of Ubuntanans. ;-) Yoyoyo, from Zootown.

I managed to finally make the switch to Linux exclusively a little over a year ago, and switched to Ubuntu as my primary distro several months ago. Just made a new Dell Vostro 1700 laptop my pirmary hardware and have Feisty running nicely on it. Looking forward to meeting other Linux users in Missoula and around Montana.

[bodhi.zazen]

jsgarvin: Welcome, How are you liking that Dell ?

[jsgarvin]

jsgarvin: Welcome, How are you liking that Dell ?

I had to jump through some hoops to get it all running, as I expected, but I'm quite satisfied at the moment. It's unfortunate that getting linux, even Ubuntu, running on newer hardware is still often a complex task and not for the faint of heart. I guess that's why we need local groups of activists willing to help those who are willing to take the plunge.

[trvr]

hello from Billings. Just moved here from Scobey to goto college. I've been using Ubuntu for about 16 months, currently dual-booting it on a black macbook.

[Joshirl]

Perhaps I'm bumping a dead post/forum but.. Another hello from bozeman.

[CDL-WarChilde]

Here's to bumping necro threads!! :popcorn:

[Oldsoldier2003]

Hello from Oklahoma. Ok.. I couldn't resist since I noticed the LoCo forums have been slow....

[Palypup]

Five months after March cluster...Aug. Also in Missoula.
Ubuntu 5.04 to 6.06 in 3 other machines and found ubu-mso while looking for solution to unsuccessful Wubi install on 4th machine. woul like to pick up the phone and call a local, or answer a call from a local. Which irc client is best ... have never been into it. Probably a good next step.

[dhobbs]

Bozeman here. Looking forward to some LUG meetings, etc.

[ranch hand]

Well, I'll be jiggered. There are other Ubuntu folks in Montana.

I am trying to get Ubuntu up but haven't got the modem running yet. When that happens MS is gone.

I am a ranch hand in the Otter area. This is S.E. Montana. It would be nice to discover someone else from this area. Most of the population does not use computers. Not really cow friendly.

[chasem1991]

Add 1 more to Montana, I am from the Missoula area.

[bodhi.zazen]

Welcome =)
