Hi Sara,<br><br>One of the nice things about Ubuntu is that it makes upgrading to a new version relatively painless, so if you're itching to try out Ubuntu right now, I recommend trying out Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (aka 08.10). When the next version is released, it's usually just a matter of dropping in the CD and the upgrade happens automagically.<br>
<br>If you need some help installing the software, WPLUG runs installfests several times a year. These events are "bring your own computer" style events. You bring the computer, we help you get everything going on it. I'm not certain when the next installfest is, however.<br>

The community around Ubuntu is working hard to organize release parties around the globe, and I believe Pittsburgh should have one. There's a blank entry for a Pittsburgh one right now, which I'm probably going to claim.<br>
<br><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseParties" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseParties</a><br><br>So, who is up for some beer and free software on April 23rd or 24th?<br><br>I'm not asking for volunteers, just who is interested. If you'd like to volunteer, that's great too!<br>
