Hey Guys,
Listening to you talk about the Chromebook made me think this is the year of the linux desktop. Granted its not what people pictured when it was said but it looks like Chromebook could take over. It is running a stripped down version of Ubuntu. This is interesting. Also if you can run GNU/Linux on these then why buy a Windows computer to install GNU/Linux. You can just put it on one of these and no Microsoft tax is being paid.

couldn’t you just make multiple partitions 32 Gb or less, or would the cameras have issues with more than one partition on the sd card

Dudes, I just told my Boss about system76. He had never heard of them, but he just ordered the Bonobo Extreme with maxed out specs & hardware. He spent $3,500.00 but is rocking 32GB RAM, i7, 400GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD, etc.
I wanted to say things for talking about system 76 on the show. It helped me today with my boss. Personally I run a Lenovo Thinkpad T420, and LOVE it.
Have a great day guys.

Hello Cody!
I wanted to take a moment and maybe be the first person to send you a message at your exclusive Podnutz email address. I just wanted to thank you and Steve “Door” for bringing such great Linux content to your fans in every episode. Several months ago I started listening to different Podcasts of interest and Linux was on the list. I dabbled in Linux originally about 8 years ago, but my initial excitement for an alternative to Windows lead to disappointment with what I found to be a convoluted experience trying to navigate in at the time I think was Ubuntu 5.04. Now, as I have been recently trying several different distros in Virtualbox, I am very impressed in the evolution of the Linux desktop experience and hope it only gets better and finally gives Windows some much needed competition. Podnutz is a great resource for all things tech and you have become an integral part. Of course “Door” now being at the helm of the network just solidifies Podnutz as another perfect example of how rewarding the Internet experience can be in the right hands.
Thank you again,
Ross S. (a.k.a. Sleepless Dad)

Hey guys,
My latest project has involved editing some HD video. In the past, I’ve used Adobe Premier on Windows. My version is supposed to edit HD video, so that’s what I was planning on using. I captured the video just fine, and it would play in Windows Media Player, but Premier was a slide show. There was NO way I was going to be able to edit this project like that.
Just for grins I decided to try OpenShot in Linux. Now, OpenShot is pretty bare-bones as video editors go, but for this project I was pretty much just trimming clips and splicing them together.
Thankfully, OpenShot worked like a champ. I was not only able to edit the videos, but I was also able to quickly render them into both HD and DVD versions! Again, it’s pretty bare bones, so users won’t have the rich feature set of Premier or Final Cut, but it is quite effective for simple projects like this.
Thank goodness for Linux!
