Hi Tom - I currently live in the Cities, but I grew up in Willmar and my parents currently live 10 miles or so outside of Spicer. Though I can't speak to the existance of a linux community in the area, I *can* say that broadband shouldn't be an issue. My parents got cable internet in their house in Willmar around '98 or so, and since moving out of town, have had a DSL line "out in the sticks" at their lake home. I'd be surprised if broadband wasn't available in Kandiohi, though a call to the local Chamber of Commerce or City Hall would probably be able to clear things up quickly. Good luck! -Erik On 8/24/08, Tom Poe <tompoe at fngi.net> wrote: > Planning on relocating from Iowa. Looking to make contact with members > west of Minneapolis.
