When I started using Linux back in the 90's, installing the system and getting your modem to work was a PITA.

Linux Users Groups formed and held "Linux Installation Parties" to help out the less savvy with the transition from DOS/Windows. We need a similar movement to introduce people to alt-tech and help them move away from the tech giants. Wouldn't that be a great idea?

Well, Linux is no longer that hard to install.

Poast info on or some other sub, I'm sure right now many want to learn about alt software.

I think I have enough fairy points to make a sub if that is the route you want to go.
