[NTLUG:Discuss] Do LUGs Still Matter?

[Stan Gatchel]

/Slashdot is carrying this article. Oh, this oughta be good:

"Do LUGs still matter 
<http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/12/23/193238>? Back in 
the day, LUGs were rowdy, popular, and highly contagious centers for 
aficionados of Linux. Install fests were a big deal. Members came from 
all walks of life, united only by a penchant for something new and cool, 
and a chance to place a bet on the impossible notion of world domination 
by an operating system hacked together by a ragtag bunch of students on 
the Internet. It's different today. Linux is now mainstream, it's being 
spread by slick corporate marketing, and with most distros, installation 
is a snap. So the question arises, do LUGs still matter?"/
