Feedback
Hello Harlem & Peter,
A few episodes ago Peter mentioned using Likewise Open to connect a Linux system to a Microsoft AD server. Can you please elaborate on this in a future episode or provide some links in your show notes? Love the podcast, keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Kevin

re: The LLL Podcast going Ogg Vorbis only
It's a little disingenuous to say "the next thing to do is to actively block Internet Explorer" because that's different. The point of LLL going Ogg-only was to make it easier for those running Linux to listen to the podcast, because that's his audience. Yes, Dave speaks into a microphone because he wants to--but his podcast is actually geared to people who want to learn more about the world they've jumped into.
Fresh Ubuntu is more about putting your toes in the pool. LLL is very much about having dived in. It probably doesn't make sense to go vorbis-only for Fresh Ubuntu, and probably won't for a long time.
That being said: Please don't use song clips where the copyright's owned by the RIAA. "Tom Sawyer" by Rush is published on two record labels, both of which are [now owned by] Universal Music Group, which is part of the RIAA. You will probably end up having to pay royalties for that...not what you wanted.
Creative Commons or Public Domain music (or custom-written stuff) is what's best for licensing; opsound.org or ccmixter.org are two places to start.
Also, try gpodder. It will transcode to mp3 unless you tell it your device supports Ogg Vorbis natively. I haven't tried it (my devices all support Vorbis, hence why I purchased them); Dave says it will work, however.

Another good one.
Another good podcast, glad we didn't have to wait over a month. :) Although podcasts takes time to do, it is nice to hear from you guys more frequently.
Ubuntu 9.10 works fine for me also. My main box is running Ubuntu 8.04 which I'll keep until end-of-life as I totally rely on it. Some key applications I keep updated via the Launchpad PPA's, from which I also get Google's Chromium browser which is excellent. I hope they make full use of the Software Centre. There so many things that they can do with this. Ubuntu is coming along nicely, although with a few hiccups along the way, but as long as it's moving forward.
I like to try other distros as well to check on progress. OpenSUSE 11.2 didn't work for me, Fedora 12 and Mandriva worked fine. KDE or Gnome doesn't matter to me. If Ubuntu switched to KDE as default I would use KDE.
Well done guys.
