Groups in Linux

Look it up. 
In my research for gps information I discovered I was supposed to be in "dialout" group.
So [Menu] [Groups] = Users and Groups
Click your name (computers name)
jcj is Administrator for my unit. I went ahead and clicked all the boxes. Ummm maybe administrator was already a member but I did it anyway.
Seems important.
J'd
Checked it with Terminal
