Matt and Martin talk about the things they do after they install a new distro. 

We have a new podcast host, so you can disregard that bit at the end. This was also recorded before our new patron Maeglin came on board. Thanks to all our wonderful patrons!

Also, this wasn't released early to patrons, as it was already late, so we apologize for that.
