   That's great!  Increased interest in Linux is always a good thing.

   Just in case you're not already aware of it, there is a local LUG that meets 
in Nashua monthly.  This is not to say you shouldn't be trying to form your own 
group; I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it.  Info here:

   As it happens, several of us in GNHLUG are currently pursuing the 
possibility of incorporating GNHLUG as a non-profit organization.  To do that, 
you apparently need budgets and bylaws and officers and all that stuff.  You 
may want to subscribe to the gnhlug-org at gnhlug.org list, which is where a lot 
of LUG administration gets beaten out.  You might find our experiences with 
that useful in your own endeavors.

   For more info on the gnhlug-org list, see:

   You're welcome to tap into GNHLUG's resources here, such as they are.  Our 
website (http://ww.gnhlug.org) uses a concept known as "wiki" which enables 
anyone to add or edit pages.  Feel free to jump in.  For more on how wiki 
works for us, see:

   On the topic of creating another mailing list, I suggest you raise the 
possibility on the -org list.

   Good luck!
