marc,
look for me on google chat
i'll figure out how to set you up as the moderator on the LUG's googlegroup, and off you go.
if you read through the earlier correspondence, you'll get an idea of how far it got. i think three meetings and that was about it before everyone drifted off
i'm in Taiwan, where I've been for most of the past 20 plus years. i started up the LUG while living in Lavallette while my son attended high school in point pleasant.
the LUG was an interesting experience, and I think I'm going to try to get a LUG going over here in Taiwan. linux isn't big here because MS is so easy to pirate. ironic!
