Podcast Season 1 Episode 5

| Guest presenter: Mark Shuttleworth
| 
| In this episode: We celebrate the release of Gnome 2.26 and talk about the 
| Chromium browser. Could the Linux community have done more to capitalise on  
| the weak take-up of Windows Vista, and how can we prepare ourselves for 
| Windows 7? And is it a good thing to have two competing desktop environments?

GNU? Isn’t that some kind of monkey?

,----[ Quote ]
| As an avid Linux user, even I haven’t paid that much attention to the history
| of Linux - putting it all down to Mr Torvalds himself. To quote the site:
|
|     Whether you use GNU/Linux or not, please don’t confuse the public by
|     using the name “Linux” ambiguously. Linux is the kernel, one of the
|     essential major components of the system. The system as a whole is
|     basically the GNU system, with Linux added. When you’re talking about
|     this combination, please call it “GNU/Linux”.
