Welcome to Undernet #linuxnewbie. This is a site for those of us who are new to the Linux OS, and need a place to learn. Our goal is to keep an open mind to the experience level of the people chatting in the channel, so with that, remember this: the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Our channel regularly has people of all experience levels, from the computer novice to the network administrator. So please ask a question-- that’s why we are here.
