LHS Episode #024: Darth Hideous
In this latest installment of Linux in the HAM Shack, we air the second half of our interview with Bill, KA9WKA, from Episode #022. While the first part of the interview focused on Linux Mint and EeePC netbooks, this part is mostly about amateur radio, answering questions from the chat room and generally having a good time. In fact, it's like a good old fashioned ragchew.
Not ones to leave out actual content and learning, we address questions from listener feedback, and Richard talks about using rig control software under WINE for Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood radios. And of course there are other topics thrown into the mix as well. Thank you to all of our listeners, old and new, for downloading this latest episode. Please tell all your friends about us and send us feedback, whether by e-mail, forum or voice mail. Hope to see everyone in Belton, TX on October 3rd or in Columbus, OH from September 25-27.
And may the force be with you.

Video #001: Missing Repository Key
Hi, all. Trying my hand at a first educational screencast for Linux in the HAM Shack. This is a brief tutorial on how to get rid of those annoying errors that pop up every once in a while when you add a custom package repository to your computer and the signing key for the packages in it is mysteriously missing. This video shows you a fairly simple way to use gpg and apt-key to download the missing key from the network and install it in your apt repository. Please let me know what you think of the video and send me any comments or questions you may have. Hopefully this will be the first in a long series of tutorial videos from LHS.
