Topic of the month: "Supporting Linux Computers." One of the weaknesses of supporting Linux computers is that there are not as many good screen sharing and collaborative tools. Having said that, the situation is changing. Once again, Carey defends the fact that he does like Linux. As a Windows support tech, he just doesn't see value for him to use it. Yes, of course he uses embedded Linux in his NAS devices, etc.

The idea for the episode came from listener, Jeff. He suggested we produce an episode to show old bash shell junkies like him, how to to do in the GUI, many of the things he's been doing for years from the command prompt. It will take us more than one episode to cover all of this, so this is the "introductory" episode.

The topic, "Linux on the Small Business Desktop," starts a conversation about point-of-sale terminals. We discuss the need for Office Suites on Linux to be compatible with Microsoft Office, 7 reasons to move to Linux, and how Internet Explorer 9 could lead to success for Firefox and the Linux OS. Why are Linux users concerned with Windows terms of use? We answer listener questions.

The long-awaited Advanced Linux Gaming episode is finally here! From native Linux games to Play on Linux, we discuss the things you need to know to get advanced games to run on your Linux machine.

The following resources are mentioned in this episode:
Linux Games:
  Penumbra http://www.penumbragame.com/game.php
  Sauerbraten http://sauerbraten.org/
  Alien Arena http://icculus.org/alienarena/rpa/aquire.html
  Open Arena http://www.openarena.ws/
James' steps for getting WoW working on WINE:
  You need to copy the fonts from the Microsoft core fonts package into your wine folder:
  $ cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/
  For WoW, you will need to edit the launcher (icon) by right clicking on it, and add "-opengl"
  to the very end of the command line... The game will now run flawlessly.
Steps for EveOnLine on Ubuntu 9.10:
  For Eve Online, change the launcher's command line to something like:
  env WINEPREFIX="/home/[YOUR USERNAME]/.wine" wine
  explorer /desktop=EVE,1440x1080 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"
