Got any idea if there’s a podcast?

[Travis McGee]

I think so, maybe in a day or two.

[Pollster1]

Please post a link to the podcast when it’s up. I’ll probably spot it, but I would appreciate a ping if you remember.

I got it to work using the current LTS version of Kubuntu and Chrome. Chrome launched mplayer, and I’m listening to it now. BUT... I had ZERO success with Debian on another machine I have.

I tend to stream radio stations all day long. Tune-in and iHeart, Levin 24/7 and some website based individual station things work fine. I didn’t have time to mess around, so just complained - ;-) .

[Squantos]

Same here .... couldn’t hear it.... missed it. We will have to ask the LT to share the high points here when he gets time....

[TADSLOS]

Yeah, same here. Couldn't get the broadcast to load. Would like to get a summary of the interview/discussion when you have the time, Travis.

[OKSooner]

Cool, thanks for letting us know. Put me on your ping list for when the podcast is available?

[PROCON]

Bump, good interview!

[hiredhand]

Please keep me posted on where I can download it when it’s available. I didn’t catch it in time, but would LOVE to hear it!

[hiredhand]

I have “almost” ZERO problems with just getting things to work on the Ubuntu box, but it’s “almost” latest and greatest. The Debian box is a little older and is hit and miss though...and like you, sometimes I just do NOT feel like troubleshooting it. :-)

[Paladin2]

I tried Unbuntu and then Mint (w/Cinammon).

The Mint desktop just seemed more logical and efficient for me.

The part that I love compared to Windows is that it shuts off in 4 seconds.

Updates work way better too.

I'd tried all sorts of Linuxes over the years, but this fall found that it was mature enough for me on a Desktop PC to go to it full time (with the VM VirtualBox windoze boxes to run specific software - eg Garmin)

[Paladin2]

I've found that if I have a website problem I can fire up a XPP VM with IE and get the occasional questionable website s/w to get the (likely unsecure) job done.

There is little in the VM for malware to infect/hassle/steal.

Plus if it goes South, I keep its parent available to generate a new sacrificial lamb in seconds. No more reloading hours...

Kool that is...

[MileHi]

Please keep me posted on where I can download it when it’s available.

Me too.

Good to see you HH

Happy New Year y'all

[hiredhand]

Good to see you too! :-)

[hiredhand]

What exactly are you using to run IE inside of a VM? I’d love to find something that uses less resources than VM-Ware player, or VirtualBox. Thanks! :-)

[CodeToad]

Bumpitty bump bimp, Matt.

[Paladin2]

It's not necessarily a low consumer of resources, but has gotten the job done with a minimum of dangerous exposure.

An Oracle VirtualBox with a load of 32 bit XPP running on a 64-bit Linux Mint load on a new SSD on a 6-yr old 4-core desktop.

[hiredhand]

Ah yes... VirtualBox. I’ve used it before, although it’s been awhile. The last time I used it, I couldn’t get it to recognize USB devices. Maybe it’s improved since then. :-) I’ll give it a try again. Thanks! :-)
