Absolutely. That is what we are all about.

To quote our web site http://nmglug.org/

"We are a resource for anyone who desires to use or learn about this world class software. This includes making software 
and support available at our meetings for anyone interested in installing the GNU/Linux Operating System or related 
software."

"Perhaps even more importantly than our being available for first time users of Free Software, we also will be a 
resource for those currently using the GNU/Linux system. "

Note the meeting is supposed to start at 6 pm but a lot of people don't arrive until later. We will be down in the 
GnuPen near the free computer.
