About Us
Whether you're an experienced Linux user looking for an outlet to the community, familiar with Linux but not sure where to begin, or haven't heard of Linux and would like to find out what all the commotion is about, we're here for you. If you live in Knoxville, the surrounding area or just visit often, join our mailing list and find out what's going on locally.
We are a public organization dedicated to using and promoting Linux and OpenSource Software. We are affiliated with the University of Tennessee, but are by no means limited to the campus community.
