I'm over 50 and all I know about Linux is it's mascot is a penguin and I think it has something to do with programming. But I'm trying to learn, do new things, and reinvent myself. Where/how should I go about learning? Or at this stage, should I even bother? I do want to learn, tho

Hi there! Welcome to software freedom. I started a local Linux User Group to help folks just like you. We've done one install fest already and have helped a few folks in learning about GNU/Linux. Feel free to hit me up with any questions as there's usually a lot of discussion to get to what the right decisions for you might be. Congratulations on making the best computing decision ever!
