Another metric buttload of emails…

We start the show with some banter about the fact that the TLLTS guys changed their frontpage to something Apple-themed on April Fools:

• (05:12) NYbill likes Dan’s accents and asks about how we came do know each other and do the show (we actually already answered that in last week’s show).

• (07:00) Larry Bushey doesn’t send us free whiskey, but he thanks us for plugging the Going Linux podcast.

• (08:45) George Tripp sends us a hilarious email and claims to be one of our oldest listeners. He tells us about his setup, asks if it wouldn’t be better to buy a Windows machine if it costs the same as a Linux-preloaded one and recommends Fotox for panorama photo stitching.

• (13:05) Antone Henderson aka. Hendo tells us why going Linux really is a green move and sends us another great Noel Watson song, which we play at the end of the show.

• (15:30) Wilhelm Käll wants us to create our own IRC channel — low and behold, we did: #linuxoutlaws on irc.freenode.net.

• (18:10) Jim Shaver informs us that Dell has finally started to sell Ubuntu machines in Canada too and they are also quite a bit cheaper than the Windows ones as well. Cool, eh?

• (20:33) Ger Apeldoorn doesn’t like these separate feedback shows — sorry! He also says Fab is totally wrong on server provisioning and points us to Linux MCE again.

• (24:34) Martin Livesley from Southport in the UK tells us about Glyn Moody’s blog. Dan also plugs SpinVox.

• (27:13) Paul Kaljuvee, another Aussie, tells us how he discovered our podcast and also about his Linux setup. He also asks the same question as NYBill.

• (29:15) Philip Herron aka. RedBrain tells Fab about some cool Linux games and mentions some depression in the community he seems to be experiencing lately. He also says he’s sick of the FUD the Windows people are still spreading about Linux to which we totally agree.

• (32:00) Shaun Mallette loves the show and says we rock. Thanks, dude!

• (34:05) Mark Widdicombe asks us about how to get his ATI Rage card to work in Linux. Fab recommends to start with trying to disable the onboard GFX-card in the BIOS. He also recommends searching the Ubuntu Forums via Google by using site:ubuntuforums.org in the query. Dan also recommends Google’s Linux search.

• (37:30) Steve tells us about a recent free software moment involving the Asus EeePC. He also watches Firefly, which is awesome!

• (40:20) Jason Howell tells about the recently released 1.0 version of the “good” Solaris — Nexenta.

• (41:15) Dick Turpin aka. Peter Cannon sends us another funny email. He recommends a forum topic update section for the show and says y’all need to get your arse on the IRC!

Fab also appologises for crashing the site.

• (45:27) George Naylor relates his Linux story which is really neat.

• (47:20) Drew plugs his site MyBrainRunsLinux.com with a tip for re-installing apps in Debian-based distros.

We also do a shoutout to lostnbronx’ 5-year-old son.

If you have any feedback yourself, drop us a line in the forums. The end of the show features the wonderful song Care For Me by Noel Watson.

The theme music for this podcast is a song called “Sudo Modprobe”, it was written by Fab and produced and performed by Dan and Fab.
