Hi Doug, Since you cc'd the list, it should appear in the digest shortly. If it does not, please let me know and I'll investigate. I believe that the Night Life program in Worcester offers a class in Linux, taught by a WLUG member. However, I don't know what Night Life's policy is regarding a student's age. In addition, The Town of Chelmsford has a Community Education program which offers Linux classes (taught by another WLUG member), but that's probably too far away for you. Finally, you're always welcome to attend a WLUG meeting in Worcester. We're open to all ages and ability levels. Keep an eye on the meeting postings in case something of interest comes along. Later, Andy
