Gorillas on the lawn

Pete is still wearing that FSFE hoodie and it's beginning to have an effect on him as he is starting to turn into a freedom stormtrooper, hang on wasn't the stormtroopers Imperialists? Anyway, the team discuss the whole Amazon and Canonical debate currently doing the rounds and with some surprising results. We hear about "Hacking the community" more specifically Gorilla gardening that the guys shamelessly stole from The Skeprechauns.

"If Microsoft are lock-in scumbags for making you use Internet Explorer what's that make Apple then with iTunes?" The team ponder as to why nobody complains about the default music management system. The lads then have a damn good laugh at the iO6 maps fail and the genius at the train station with the funny message. And finally in this section Matt and Pete tell wiki's but especially Ubuntu wiki "you're doing it wrong"

Archie (Woof woof) Pete's been lazy and just reminded everyone about the latest install release but cant stop himself from having another dig at the install process.

Room x1101 is back with Matt and Pete ending up, as per usual, sticking something else in instead.

Everyone's a critic

Be warned the sound quality is rubbish again, Pete stupidly listened to the moans about 'clipping' and thought it would be a good idea to sit in the next county to where his microphone is located and to add insult to injury his mic did everything in its power to compensate for the distance in a vein attempt to amplify the noise but only succeeded in adding nice 'booms' here and there.

Cars, cars bloody cars. Pete's motor breaks down in the middle of nowhere so the team recorded this episode on Tuesday night which felt really strange, the guys consider if it's really worth writing show notes as nobody reads them. Matt tells us how AMD and Intel announce new generation CPU's that supposedly do not support Linux but the team think it's just a clever marketing ploy. Pete starts off telling us about Red Hat suing Twin peaks but the conversation veer off in whole different direction with some outrageous opinions. Matt saves the day by changing the subject to jquery dropping the GPL licence but then the guys get all sentimental with a story about sourceforge

Archie (Woof woof) The Arch Linux handbook on Kindle.

Well Hong

And the gruesome twosome are back on the bus after the traditional OggCamp live show that you all enjoyed last episode. Having recharged their OpenSource freedom loving batteries the dynamic duo are all set to poke fun at the community, each other and especially that bloke at number 37 with burnt out Mondeo on his drive. Matt kicks off the random warming up section by telling Pete Damn Small Linux is back, yes we know this news is a bit out of date but we don't care. The team then enthuse about Bedrock Linux which supposedly can install any package from any repository and will then run the installed application.

We know we've discussed it before, we actually heard it first on The Skeprechauns, but we wanted to talk again about the Sapphire HDD and it's our show so tough luck. Matt then makes Pete's day by telling him Diaspora runs out of money which is not funny at all (It is really.) Finally the lads show their true colours by showing no sympathy whatsoever for the so called GPLviolation or is it? (If you don't laugh during this section you need to visit the hospital a.s.a.p. and have a 'sense of humor transplant'.

Archie (Woof woof) Manjaro Arch for n00bs Manjaro Linux

The main section is taken up with OggCamp and especially the work we put into the quiz, some of the problems we had, what we might have done wrong and Pete's and Matt's thoughts on some supposed feedback. If you want to know why the show is so long this section is the reason why.

OggCamp12 - For whom the bell tolls.

And here is the episode you've all been waiting for our famous OggCamp Live recording, the one time where you get a chance to not only go "Say my name, say my name." but to actually be on the show!

It's tradition that we release this raw and (within reason) un-edited so don't bother complaing "The sound quality is crap." Listen out for the church bells just outside the window where we was recording. "The bells, the bells."

Enjoy

I'll make ya toe throb.

You'll be pleased to know it's a bit of a shorter show this episode mainly because we couldn't be bothered to read out some of the feedback. Matt tells us about his Ubuntu install, "To 64 or not to 64 that is the question?" and we have a good laugh at the Skype install "Why are you pulling in 32Bit stuff?" and Matt's love of his new system.

Contrary to popular belief Matt does most of the talking on the random warming up section mainly because the only bit Pete put in was about boobs. However Pete 'goes off on one' during Archie (Woof woof) and is clearly bitter about the whole experience.

I hate your Blog actually happens this time but with an unexpected outcome which sets the team up nicely for the feedback emails.
