Who Are We? — Linux Newbies

About the Team

We are members of the Roanoke Valley GNU/Linux Users Group, a Linux users group serving Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, and the surrounding areas. Some of us are system administrators or computer consultants with years of programming and computer-related tinkering under our belts; others have recently been exactly where you are and are trying to help you over the hurdles we stumbled on the first time.

Essentially, we're a group of Linux enthusiasts from various walks of life who have come together with a single purpose: to make life easier for you, the new Linux user. We hope to shorten the "Learning Curve" that folks often experience when trying Linux — to get you up and running quicker and easier than you might have been able to otherwise, and maybe help you fine-tune, protect, and really get the most out of your system in the process.

We invite you to discover what we have to offer here. Like so much of Linux, this site is a work in progress, and we want to know how we're doing! If you need information you don't find here, or have a comment or question about any part of this site, please feel free to contact us — we'll answer you personally.
