The Guyana Linux Users Group is a network of individuals who are interested in the use of Linux and other Free and Open Source Software.

The first informal meeting was held at the SDNP office on May 24th 2000.
We are working on increasing membership as Linux is not well known in Guyana.
If you are interested in joining the mailing list or in having access to this site, send a mail to

Please add your full name, and the details of your interest in GLUG.
