	There is a new Linux User's Group forming in SF.
	I attended the 1st meeting and recommended that we
	include FreeBSD and Linux within the scope of the 
	meeting.

	It looks like we'll be meeting once per month -- During the 
	second or third week on (hopefully) Thursdays.  This meeting was
	held at the Four Seas restaurant in Chinatown.  Probably the next 
	few  will also be there.

	The co-ordinators name is Arthur F. Tyde III (aftyde@slip.net).

	There is also a group that meets (first Wednesday???) in 
	San Jose that's called something like the: 

		Silicon Valley PC User's Group, Linux and Low Cost Unix 
		Special Interest Group (SVPCUG/LSIG)

	You can find out more about them at:
		http://www.worldtalk.com/svcs.linux/

	Other than that I don't know of any.  If joining one of these doesn't
	appeal to you, and you want to start one that's specific to FreeBSD
	let me know.
