Attack of the Pod Penguins: Not Why, Why Not?
Attack of the Pod Penguins: Not Why, Why Not? – Network World
My good friend Tony has started writing what looks to be an excellent series on Linux and podcasting. Head over to LinuxWorld if you’ve got a few minutes to kill and give it a read. While you are at it be sure to check out his popular podcast, The Roadhouse.
It’s not that no one thinks of multimedia and Linux in the same frame. Many do. They’re the Linux and FOSS evangelists, determined to remove all vestiges of proprietary software from their computing lives and yours, too, if you understand what’s best. They’re the engineers, fascinated with the challenge of bridging proprietary (and often very secret) hardware to the community of open source users. They’re small commercial interests, focused on maximizing Return On Investment by minimizing the cost of entry into a burgeoning multimedia market. And, they’re users, dabbling in open source for the first time, wondering how on Earth to make that sound card work like it did in Microsoft Windows.
