| | Linux User Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It was originally formed as a Special Interest Group for the Silicon Valley Computer Society (now disbanded?), founded by Daniel Kionka to support Xenix and "low cost PC UNIX systems" (which later became focused on Linux as the dominant free implementation of Unix). | | | Many LUGs also organize installfests (FreeBSD groups tend to refer to them as installathons) which are opportunities for experienced Linux users to help others, especially "newbies" (novices) with installation and configuration of Linux systems. | | | In fact, there is anecdotal evidence of traditional user groups having difficulty adapting to Linux's ability to be lawfully copied at will. |

| | Linux User Group HOWTO |
| | Linux is a freely-distributable implementation of Unix for personal computers, servers and workstations. | | | New Linux users who are already in contact with a local LUG are ahead of those whose interest in Linux has been piqued by a computer journalist, but who have no one to whom to turn to aid them in their quest to install, run, and learn Linux. | | | Computer user groups, at least in the United States, are not a new phenomenon; in fact, they played an important role in the history of the personal computer. |
