Well, everyone was smarter than me, but cheese! they were more than willing to talk to me about Linux (and much more).  The Chix immediately made me welcome, and proceeded to enlighten, involve, and delight me with ideas, concepts, programs, and vocabulary words that had me making mental notes like mad for a late-night Wikipedia session.  Could anything be better for a new student of Linux and programming?

Thanks, Chixes and Menfolk, for making my first meeting a tweet experience!
