Jaxon wrote me via Google Talk:

Hey Cody, I have another question for you. I’m currently using Bodhi and trying to fully convert to it from Mint. One thing I’m noticing is the imaging quality on Bodhi. Everything seems to be blurry and fuzzy. For example, the window borders are a bit blurred. Also, text and images on web pages is blurry. Any idea why this might be? Or some kind of solution for improving sharpness? I’ve looked at screen resolution and it’s 1280×800 as usual.

Thanks!

Hi Steve and Cody

I love your show and the other shows on PODNUTZ.

But it started with “Linux For The Rest Of Us” and it is my no. 1.

podcast show 🙂

I’m from Denmark, and your link to Amazon is to Amazon.com, but in

Denmark we would be forced to pay a Toll fee plus Danish VAT of 25% on

top, so it can be expensive to trade stuff on the internet outside

Denmark and Europe.

So if you can get a link to “Amazon.co.uk” and a “Amazon.de” on the

podnuzt.com web-page, “so we on the other side of the pond” can

support Podnuz all that we can 🙂

I have two questions:

Do you know if there is another “File Manager” to XFCE, which has a

good search function for which standard has no search function ? (My

Linux Desktop is XFCE “Xubuntu”)

Steve have you trying to install Android on your Raspberry Pi, if Yes

, ran it OK ?

Message for Cody.

After hearing your plaudits for my email I thought I had better expand it a bit, see attached.

And as for Lucky Door, if you box blows up but you still have an up to date backup, well, I would call that LUCKY (by design).

Keep rocking!
