Brian:
		I would suggest that you visit

http://lists.lug.boulder.co.us/mailman/listinfo/lug

and sign up to be on the list. Then ask your question there. I think
you'll find that in general we're a pretty helpful bunch.

In addition, we'll have a regular meeting on the 12th. Please come and
join us there if you can.

I've CC'd this message to the list so you might have to check the
archives for the first couple of replies if you can't get to
subscribing right away.

Welcome to Linux.
