Email exchange with Herve, of Shackbox Linux.  If you found it useful, please consider donating something to the project.

Voice comment from Rodney (aka R0dzilla) KJ4OHH: he asks for more information on Echolink and Echolinux. Our hosts respond with CQiNet and QTel.

Rod, KJ4OHH, postsin the forum:  If you install a 32-bit program under 64-bit Linux Mint 7, then install a 32-bit application, getlibs may not find the 32-bit libraries, so you have to get them from the Ubuntu repository:

And congratulations to Rodney on getting his license!

VK5HZ in IRC says Echolink does work in Wine, at least for him.

Joe, NE3R, runs packet and uses an old TNC with firmware from the 1980s.  He runs XASTIR with an MFJ TNC and minicom.

Ken, WA3FKG, posts in the forum:  Acer says if you replace windows with Linux on one of their machines, you’ve voided the warranty.

Tony Malloy re-Tweeted on identi.ca when Episode 019a came out.  Thanks, Tony.

Damon, NN7B, asks “Which packet program do you use for Linux?“  It’s probably easier to use a TNC in KISS mode, rather than trying to do software packet.

David, KF5BCM, wants a noise gate on Richard. 🙂 He says hears Richard breathing loudly on Episode 15.  (Make a donation and maybe that will help fund the equipment.)

turtles7, in the forums, suggested a topic for a future show: mobile installation hints. He recently installed a mobile in a minivan, and still has high SWR.

Interview:

Interview with Beth Lynn Eicher of the Ohio Linux Fest.

Beth Lynn talks about the training opportunities at OLF, exhibitors, and the history of OLF.

From the chat room:

Why don’t we do shows on Linux basics? We did. Check out the older episodes. If there’s something we haven’t covered, let us know.

What is a “Crank”? See Linux Cranks.  (ogg format, explicit)

How to play .ogg files in iTunes.

KJ4OHH just bought a 8GB Sansa Fuze for $39. Refurbished Sansa Clips are often available at buy.com and newegg.com for good prices, too. They play OGG files natively.

Check out Shackbox Linux, too.
