The season finale extravaganza. A two hour, rambling episode in which Klaatu talks about Gnome 3, Amarok, Clonezilla, diversity in Free Software, HFS woes, HOWTO set up a printer on your Linux OS, and lots of listener feedback. Feedback topics include Lord Drachenblut's info about virtual box usb stack, Deepgeek's info on openVZ, thrice discovers bsdtar, Patrick Archibald's audio question, Edward Wood (probably not the B-Movie director?) and rowinggolfer's picture-in-picture hack, Matt asking about removing meta data from videos with ffmpeg, David's HPR feedback.
That's it. Season 6 is over, get ready for season 7.

responds to listener feedback about other Unices, the
BSD license vs GPL, the spreading of UNIX, logical

August 31, 2011: Potato Memorial Pic
A cat friend of Klaatu's blast his little soul into the Great Beyond
last night. Potato was a Russian Blue, an avid fan of MST3k (go watch "Pod People").
He was laid back, easy-going, and an
all-around decent guy; the type of cat you could just sit and have coffee
with, or chat about Linux, or just sit and pet.
Now Potato's moved on, and of course he will be missed, but then again,
he's not really gone, is he? he's just finally git push'd his commits.

inferiour technology on his fave-o-rite proprietary OS.
And then he talks about some of the arguments against
free software that he has heard. Not for the faint of heart!
