    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!

    Re: Welcome

    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.

    Re: Welcome

    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.

    Hello Everyone,

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

    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.

    Actors make their living playing pretend, so why do we listen to them about how we should live in the real world?

    Re: Welcome

    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.

    Re: Welcome

    I'm in Northeast MS, near Tupelo, in a small piece of crap town called Fulton. I've only ever met two other Linux users in person, and one of them is an Asian exchange student that doesn't count. I myself have been using Ubuntu on and off for around two years, and had XP completely removed at one point before I went crazy from lack of gaming.

    Great to know that there are actually some other people down here who realize that their computers don't have to screw up all the time.

    Actually, at my high school the idiots actually run Linux for everything except for the actual desktops. They pay for Office and Windows, and I saw XP on a 128mb machine that couldn't even handle a device being plugged in without freezing. And IE7 freezes half the time when you try to open it.

    We need some Edubuntu pretty bad up here
