Practical Show Notes For The Going Linux Podcast
Here you will find links to the topics we cover as well as links to software, websites articles, and other resources mentioned in the episodes of Going Linux.
For each episode, we provide the show in both mp3 and ogg audio formats, and we post extensive show notes. You can download any episode from the direct links below, or you can play it in your browser with a flash player. You can also receive the podcast automatically if you have software like iTunes, Amarok, Rhythmbox or gPodder.
This is great for our regular listeners who may not always listen via the same means, or who want to grab a load of older podcasts before they head off for a holiday or vacation. We understand what it's like to be without Going Linux for a week. Don't worry. Just load up your podcatching software of choice and listen as you surf, mess about in terminal windows and play poker games. Or take the episodes with you: Sync those episodes from your podcatcher to your portable media player. We look forward to having you hear us very soon.
If you have iTunes, click the iTunes link to subscribe. For all other podcast receiving software, use the orange subscription links at the left to subscribe. Simply right-click the link and copy it into your pocatching software. Although it is called "subscribing," you are really just adding the podcast to your receiver. Of course it's free.
