Craig and Carey, hosts of the Computer America radio show welcome Larry for the 12th time to their show to discuss all things Linux. This time we discuss Linux software alternatives, answer listener questions, and make plans for next month's episode. We also have more than our fair share of technical difficulties in hour 1.

The following resources are mentioned in this episode:
Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/
Linux equivalent software list
  http://goinglinux.com/articles/Resources.html#SoftwareEquivalents
Going Linux episode 36 http://goinglinux.com/2008shownotes.html#glp036
Reinstall all applications after an Ubuntu fresh install:
  Use the command line to save the list as a file named "selections_file.txt":
   dpkg --get-selections > selections_file.txt
  Then, after you have completed the re-install, you use the command:
   dpkg --set-selections < selections_file.txt
  to tell the package manager that you want to install the files.

Linux-based HP Mini Mi ships with command line disabled. Is this good? Linux: The biggest threat to the future of Windows. I heard Keith Curtis' book "After the Software Wars" discussed by Paul Thurrott on the Windows Weekly podcast. It was described as "a book which states that open source software, not Apple, is the real future competition to the Windows operating system." We have had more than a couple of Linux users who have had difficulty getting into the Computer America chat room. I have created an article on the Going Linux website that gives Computer America's listeners who use Linux, step-by-step instructions for installing the right version of Java so that the Computer America chat will work.

This is the third of three episodes on Home Networking. This "super advanced" episode provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to share a printer between two Ubuntu machines; connecting to a Linux printer from Gnome, KDE, Windows XP and Windows Vista; and connecting to a Windows Vista printer from Ubuntu using SMB. We also introduce the topic of Linux remote control.

Errata: Lots of mistakes in this episode!
  • We mistakenly refer to the Linux Remote Desktop Viewer as Remote Desktop Client (RDC). Apologies to the Windows folks on this.
  • My software tip mistakenly identified as Super Ubuntu the software that allows you to run Ubuntu from within Windows without a VM. The actual software is Portable Ubuntu. Super Ubuntu is a standard distribution of Ubuntu 8.10 that is pre-configured with OpenOffice 3 and lots of non-free extras for better real world support. Apologies to Claudio C�sar S�nchez Tejeda of Portable Ubuntu, and apologies to the developers of Super Ubuntu.
