[22:10] YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) – YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), is the successor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. Contrary to MultiBootISO’s which used grub to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary.

[27:55] Celebrate 20 Years of Linux With Us – Twenty years ago this summer, Linus Torvalds made a bold decision to share his operating system with the world. Not long after that, he chose to license it under the General Public License. Nothing in computing has been the same since.

[40:24] Linux Games: Gridwars – The gist of this game is simple: You are placed on a screen and you must control your ship as a never-ending horde of objects come at you. Although not up to the 3D graphics of today’s games, the graphics for Gridwars are quite beautiful to behold. The colors and the never-ending onslaught of pixels will satisfy even the worst ADHD cases.

[43:03] Launch Virtual Apps Directly from your Linux Desktop – In an article about desktop virtualisation I explored some of the options for virtual machines on a linux desktop. In this article, I’ll extend that a little by setting out how to launch a Windows app from your linux desktop as if it were a native app. It isn’t in fact a native app, it’s an application running in a virtual machine on vmware and displayed on your desktop using unity mode. But for all intents and purposes it will look and behave as if it “belongs” on your desktop.

[54:27] Groklaw Calling It Quits After a Job Well Done – Groklaw, which played an important role in the SCO vs. Linux controversy, will cease publication of new content on the eighth anniversary of its founding.
