Shownotes

I covered some Windows equivalent software for ubuntu and came up with the usual suspects for those of you who are more experienced users. OpenOffice, gimp, gaim...but there are also some others that are "new" finds especially for us new2ubuntu types like rezound, ardour, and gnuCash. Here is a link to the list. If there are any users who can suggest others your comments are appreciated. I also mentioned that I got my ship-it discs a few days ago and they look good. Each disc came in a sleeve with 5 people in a huddle....not bad. Did I mention I got some cool stickers with them? Lucky.... Ouch! I got hit by the x server bug. I tried to reconfigure the xorg.config but it didnt work, so I went ahead and reinstalled Ubuntu. I haven't been without any problems with ubuntu os but I will say this. the reinstall only took 30 minutes and was painless. Had I waited a day i could have salvaged the installation but it neither here nor there at this point. Check out Ubuntu Counter here. You get a number that and a button that you can put on your website or emails, pretty nifty if you are into that kind of thing. Well, that's it see you again soon. If you are looking for the Ogg vorbis feed It is right here.

Thank you zhao for your kind

Thank you zhao for your kind words. I think that we often do not have the right information which can paralyze us to the point of indecision. Its my hope that this podcast can bring to light the choices we have.Also, I will try to put the link up for the "10 tips for new ubuntu users" as soon as I can remember where I put my notes. Thanks for being patient.
