Hi, all.
I will not be available to record LHS tonight. So we'll do it tomorrow night, as long as Richard is OK with that. Plan on it unless you hear something different. Podcast, tomorrow night, 7/1, 8:00pm CDT. Be there.

Voicemail and Audio Commentary
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...I set up a voice mail box for Linux in the HAM Shack. At that point, I promptly forgot about it. However, I am going to revive it now. If you'd like to leave a recorded message, comment or question for us, the hosts of Linux in the HAM Shack, you are more than welcome to do it. Assuming it comes out family friendly and remotely relevant, we'll play your audio and respond to your observations on an upcoming edition of the podcast. Simply call +1-888-455-0305 and leave a message. That's all there is to it.
Similarly, if you have a microphone and Audacity or some other way to record your voice, feel free to e-mail us an audio question, comment, segment, promotion or suggestion and we'll be happy to put those on the air in a future episode as well. Every little bit helps and with a little bit of audio input from our listeners we can jazz up the podcast even more. Hope to hear from you soon.

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
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.
