I use http://www.meetup.com/ to find local technical groups and other types of groups. Nice feature of meetup.com is you can sign up to be notified of group gatherings. I use it a lot for WordPress development and other computer related user groups.

I've searched meetup.com to find a Linux LUG but the closest active one is in NYC. It is an active site, though.

SGT (Join to see) - I never thought about how useful meetup.com would be if you aren't close to a larger population area. I'm about 20 miles from Ann Arbor MI and Toledo OH and not too much farther from Detroit. No shortage of groups here. Have you considered creating a group in your area on meetup? As we used to say in the USAF: run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.

MSgt Richard Rountree - I like that quote. Stealing it! There is a LUG here but it seems dormant. I'm trying to get a hold of the webmaster to create buzz in it again. I have considered it, though. Thanks.

Have you explored military correspondence courses, this is another good area for information.

Yes. I use JKO, Skillport, and about a dozen others. I'm looking for something that has a more social aspect to it, such as IRC channels and, er, human interaction.

Are you located afloat, or land based? My reason for inquiring is there are college courses that will do as much for you, if not more than a PC User group. Successful class completion helps you toward a certificate, or AA/AS degree, which will help further a military or civilian career.

Barnes&Noble would be a good info source as well.
