Just wanted to let you know I have enjoyed your show. I work with windows at work and have dual boot Linux / Windows at home. So the combo of both in the podcast is nice. It was also good you added music.
I just finished moving a file from my Tivo to my desktop in Linux and converting it to mpg. Now to see if I can get it on my ipod touch thru my Windows partition. Wish me luck. Keep up the good work on the show.
