Fw: [clug] beginners path

Subject changed to reflect content.

Forked this thread to address the topic. The other issue is the issue of 
list spam. The over lap is wheather this discourages beginners. However, 
this is moot if we don't hove beginners in the first place.

Is there currently a good path for beginners to linux in Canberra?

Is this well known and publicised, eg on the clug.org.au website and 
else where?

Does it tie in with the other actions of clug?

If PCUG direct heavy/advance Linux users here. Should we direct 
beginners there as suggested be someone else?

et cetera.
