<br />Wow, that's saddening. And right when we should have installfests packed w/worm refugees-- my fear is that paying FUD operatives to mess with FOSS is paying off for the infinitely-monied monopolists. <br /><br /><a href="http://linuxmafia.com/bale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://linuxmafia.com/bale</a><br />is lookin pretty decent.. just found out for my 1st time about small towns havin a LUG, checking that.<br /><br />Surfed to GSLUG on a whim.. spartan site, points to lists & IRC.. oh No, their list is on Google!
