LoCo Talk
Well it is shaping up to be a fine summer since I haven’t seen a mid 50’s day for a week now. And, in Oregon that means summer is finally here. There really hasn’t been much going on with both Peter or myself. Peter has been on a media fast and I have been busy adjusting to my kids’ summer schedule so there isn’t a lot of news but we sure made up for it in banter and small talk. We did happen to catch up with Christer Edwards who talked with us about LoCo teams and their significance to the world of Ubuntu. He also went into detail about his tutorial site ubuntu-tutorials.com where you can find a number of great tutorials on any version of ubuntu dating back to Warty, I think. He was a great guest and very informative and we thank him very much for being on the show. He also happens to be on IRC chats rooms on occasion and goes by the handle Zelut, which BTW is also his twitter name and can be found at twitter.com/zelut. And last but not least is the MPM in which Peter describes the SORT command. Not much else to say except enjoy the show and the interview, Ciao!

You had talked about Java loading pages slow. I think you got Java and Java-Script confused. Just wanted to clear that up.

OpenSUSE does also come on 1 CD now, a live version of which there’s GNOME and KDE versions.

Java Applets can really slow down browsing. Especially those online games which can take a little while to load.

My only beef with opensuse is that the torrent iso doesn’t download at 600kb/s like the ubuntu one, even after 24h of release

Harlem, the person that had the problem with WUBI needs to have the ISO image in the same dir as the WUBI installer, if he was trying to install it without the live CD. The live CD has it’s own install program, which I haven’t used. I did try Wubi some time ago, and it just looks for an ISO in it’s current dir. So in theory any Linux distro would work.

openSUSE provides a DVD installer with lots of great extensions, but they’ve also provide a 1 Disk LiveCD in both GNOME and KDE and 71mb net-install disk.
