Welcome to Cowlug
Welcome to the Cowichan Valley Linux Users Group, COWLUG for short. We are an active community
of Linux users of differing skill levels and areas of expertise; home users and people who
run their entire business on Linux. COWLUG has monthly general meetings.
The goal of Cowlug is to work with the community to develop Linux skills
both at home and in business. We have an active
mail list and provide good support
for users migrating to or starting with Linux.
By using this more open process, we support an operating system that uses free
software development practices that many find more appealing than proprietary software.
To find out what linux is, refer to About Linux.
