Russ,
Good show. Thanks. The guy looking for an mp3 player might consider an iaudio. Here’s a review from Dave Yates of Lotta Linux Links podcast fame of the Iaudio U3 done for Hacker Public Radio:

Great show Russ. I’m just catching up on them and I really like the Windows & Linux mix. You got it just right.
One comment, in episode 9 you mentioned that Tor is great for privacy and anonyminity. Those are distictly different and with Tor it is possible to create a tor exit node and analyise the traffic inthe clear, thus comprimsing privacy.
Anyhow, keep up the great work, i’m looking forward to further shows.
