Open Source Community
NOTE: This page still needs more info. More will be provided over time. It needs to stay on your task list until almost the date of release, so that we can flesh this out with enough good sources. The "Getting Started with Linux" guide actually shows more, such as Polish Linux. Look through the links in there, and add sites from that page to here.
To get general Linux support quickly, it is sometimes best to first reach out to the online communities dedicated to open source software and Linux. Online open source communities benefit from having hundreds, if not thousands, of people to help with issues
