This Week’s Contest!
I made a mistake on the show about how long Marcel has been doing the Cooking With Linux column in the Linux Journal. For a chance to win a Win4Lin Pro license, tell me how long Marcel has actually been doing that column. Send correct entries to thelinuxusershow@gmail.com before this coming Friday at midnight MST!

Sounds like a lot of what Marcel covers in his book is covered on my own Linux HowTo site: www.virtualsky.net/daves
Oh well. As long as I’m helping people (directly or indirectly) :)

I really liked this interview. It actually made me think a lot about the state of the end users now-a-days.
People don’t buy operating systems, they buy computers.
The biggest barrier is not learning but UNLEARNING
The misseducation on the technology field (and schools)
I just start watching the episodes of Go-OpenSource.org and they give you a different perspective. What is going on in other part of the world. And most important what can they do to change people lives.

Very informative interview (I didn’t know that one can do Flash animation in OpenOffice), but sound quality of the interview is horrible :(

Yeah, OOo is cool!
Yes, Skype sound quality is really degrading. I’m going to try some other solutions and see what I can do. My biggest problem is, ironically, that I use GNU/Linux. There are many solutions out there to replace Skype for Windows, but I haven’t run across anything useful for GNU/Linux that will allow me to record VoIP calls.
Still looking though…
