People are here to answer, there are just no questions.

I had to stop posting because I was the only one saying anything!!!

I think that there is some interest here locally...but we're a small
market.

There's plenty of linux users locally, just we're all an antisocial bunch :P

More accurately, most of them seem to be the younger crowd who wouldn't
know a newsgroup if it bit them. If they have issues or questions,
first stop is to google, or less local sources like the Ubuntu forums.
A lot probably don't even think about newsgroups like this. It never
hurts to point more people this way though :)

You guys should start hanging out at the local 2600 group in St. John's.

I would have associated with other Linux users here in St John's when
SLUG was active. But looking at their seminars, they were way too
nerdy for me! I didn't understand half the stuff they were doing.

I've been a Linux user since 1998, it has come a long way. Its to the
point now, where things like Install fests, etc, are no longer
needed. Live install cd's, and super easy-to-use distributions have
made "experts" like us redundant. Even my sister has been using linux
for almost a year now with very few questions.

They are the first friday of every month in front of the DQ in the MUN
UC in St. John's... Though it seems attendance has died down a lot.
