LHS Episode #016
Because Episode #015 was a bit late, this one is going to seem a bit early but actually it's right on time. All it takes is a little perserverance and perspiration on my part and I can actually get these podcasts edited and released when they're supposed to be. Imagine that.
As usual, we start out Episode #016 talking about feedback from listeners. We always love to hear what people are saying about us, and we especially like feeling useful when we can answer the questions that come from you. A comment from a listener leads us to our rather unusual topic for this episode: Windows. Now, before you tune out--we don't actually talk about Windows directly. What we do instead is present all the ways in which we believe Linux is Windows's equal, from ease of installing applications to productivity out of the box to support and development.
So as always we hope you enjoy this latest episode of Linux in the HAM Shack. Thanks for listening and 73 to all.

LHS Episode #015
LHS Episode #015
Linux in the HAM Shack #015 is here! I still believe that I can get these out on a regular basis but lately I find that life is very, very busy. However, I think Episode #015 is worth the little extra wait. We've got lots of feedback from listeners, our first donation (!) and two informative segments.
In the first of our informational segments, Richard describes his installation of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and gives his thoughts and general appreciation for the system. In the second segment, I ramble on about SSH (secure shell) and all of its various uses, from logging into remote systems to copying files to forwarding X applications to a local machine. I'd say it even turned out pretty coherent thanks to some extensive editing. Just kidding. Maybe.
Enjoy the episode, and don't forget to flood us with that feedback.
