What's a LUG?
LUG stands for Linux User Group its very much like a family of hopefully like minded people who share at least one thing in common with you, they are also interested in Linux.
Like any family they will help you progress so long as you remember that at first they'll help but they will also expect you to help yourself.
N'etiquette?
Before subscribing to any mailing lists, please read over the guidelines they may have. Following these simple etiquette rules will make your experience as part of their mailing list much more pleasant and rewarding.
