Everyday Linux

We have a look at some interesting tech news this week as well has resume our on-again off-again discussion on what effect Windows 8 may have on desktop Linux adoption.

The guys have a little fun this week poking fun at some of the odd names given to modern Linux distributions.

For this weeks show, the guys discuss some interesting tech news from recent weeks and, of course, throw in a healthy dose of their own less-than-humble opinions as they go.

This week Chris and Seth regale Mark with their experiences using a rather odd Linux distribution called Fuduntu. Or, as Seth puts it "the secret love child of Ubuntu and Fedora."

This week the guys respond to a listener request by having a discussion about some of the many ways in which people interact with Linux and Linux-like operating systems on a daily basis- often without even knowing it.

This week the guys slack off a little and blame the upcoming holiday, but they do still manage to fill an hour with moderately interesting conversations.

This week Mark and Aaron crash the EDL party once again as Stephen McLaughlin a.k.a. The Door-to-Door Geek join the gang for a wrap-up of Linux news and other topics.

This week Chris and Seth make some stuff up at the last minute and still manage to talk for over an hour.

This week Chris and Seth man the shop in Mark's absence with a look a the Linux distribution called SolusOS.

The week Mark makes a big announcement and the guys cover announcements from Fedora, Linux Mint and others.

The guys answer a listener email and spend some time discussing the basic security principles with regard to the Linux desktop- covering everything from firewalls, to antivirus, to password management and more.

The guys finally get around to reviewing Ubuntu 12.04- the most recent "long term release" from Shuttleworth and company.

This weeks show doesn't have any one particular topic, but rather is a wide-ranging discussion of the news of the day and other general-purpose geekiness. Also, we say goodbye to our friend Aaron as he takes an extended break from the show.

This week we put our collective brains together and help Seth find the tablet of his dreams. We'll have a look at the major players in tablet computing right now and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each.

This week the guys cover a couple of listener suggestions and discuss using a combination of LiveCDs and Virtual Machines to test-drive various Linux distributions.
