Who Are We

The South Dakota Local Community Team (SD LoCo) is a team of Ubuntu users. We all live or have lived in the state of South Dakota.

What We Provide

We provide an agile means of communication among many different channels to get support to you as quickly as possible. We also provide a community that can rely on itself to achieve any goals.

Why Choose Ubuntu

Ubuntu was founded on the philosophy that software should be free of charge, open source, and community maintained. As a result, Ubuntu is and always will be completely free software. You'll never incur any costly licensing fees and can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing. In fact, you are encouraged to do so.

A standard Ubuntu installation should complete in about 25 minutes. The easy-to-use graphical installer creates a system complete with everything you need to get up-and-running: a fully productive office suite, internet applications (browser, email, calendar), graphics software, music and video players, and games.

Installation Support

Installation support can be found in the KB.
