Thanks!

Don't see any Ubuntu groups on the server list, and it is
Debian-derived.

I'd suggest cross-posting to here and comp.os.linux.misc.

I run Debian. What's your challenge?

"Doe" is it? Were you ancestors poachers? :-\

Ubuntu is mostly the same as Debian, but some specific questions might
be better answered in ubuntulinux.org forums or mailing lists.

Okay, thanks.

I'll post a new thread about it now that I know it's okay to post here!

Quite the contrary!  Actually, we're vegetarians.  :-)

Yes, I use the forums at ubuntulinux.org, but I figured there'd be a
much broader range of *ix users here who might be able to help with
various issues.

I'll help if I can. Ubuntu is real graphical, and I'm a
commandline kind of guy (although I do run my Linux from
x-terminal-emulators).

Does are 'vegan'.

I searched the Web. No doe has ever been seen eating
a soy burger with animal-milk cheese on top.

:-))

By-the-way, referring to your post to Bill, it's usually
"*nix" (which isn't right either).  *ix Are For Kids. :-\

For what it's worth, I like just plain "nix".

You can find Ubuntu news on news.gmane.org as well.

I wonder if our quadrapedal newbie understands that that is
a non-usenet newsserver rather than a newsgroup?

Posting is okay there, and there are 7331 newsgroups.

Here are the ones she's most likely to be interested in,
depending on how many languages she is fluent in:

Good tip, Hans.
