[brlug-general] BR-LUG: new guy in Lafayette

[Jonathan Kulp]

That's good news, Adam!  Nice to hear.  I know that there are a few UL 
students who use Linux, and in fact I was inspired to try it myself 
after seeing a computer science student running Ubuntu.  I don't think 
it's very widespread, though.  I'm going to do my part to spread 
awareness by using my new Ubuntu-loaded laptop in the classroom this 
fall.  I just got a new Toshiba laptop and now I can use all the fancy 
compiz stuff that grabs people's attention.  (Before I had an older Dell 
whose graphics card was incapable of 3D.)  Plus I figured out how to 
hotplug the laptop with external projectors, something that has always 
been a problem for me since first trying Linux.

So are there any Linux users get-togethers in Lafayette that you know 
of?  Glad to be in touch with y'all. :)
