Yes, we are on IRC at irc.freenode.net on the #gnewsense-users channel. 
For details on how to join the channel, go here[2].

We don't have a forum though (as of now).

Wally, Linux is just a kernel and not the whole operating system. It is 
appropriate to call the operating system (the distro) as GNU/Linux -- 
"GNU operating system with Linux as the kernel". For more info on this 
read this essay[3] written by Richard Stallman.

Hope that helps.
