We are the Linux Supporters Group Adelaide. We meet at the Adelaide South-West Community Centre, 171 Sturt Street, Adelaide, at 7.30pm. on the first Wednesday of each Month.

On August 4th we shalll have short talks on Linux and its promising future.  Speak-to-a-Geek about your Linux FAQs.  Suprise subject on the night [which turned out to be: "Creating a live USB Boot Stick for kubuntu"].  Plus hear about our future programme, and end-of-year function.
