   Just a little comment on TLLTS not being “family-friendly”: Imagine you driving to work, having your kids in the backseat, and then you put on TLLTS and hear Dann talking about the hoagie-guy! ROFL!

   This is the kind of thing I have been looking for. The other Linux podcasts are too advanced for me. Will you be helping people install linux on their pc’s? I hope so. I tried to have my son help me with Linux but it was a little confusing. Your explanations are good for people like me. Thank you!

   Hey, this site and podcast were mentioned in this week’s Distrowatch Weekly article. Great job with the podcast! I just listened to #3 and am downloading the other 2. This will definitely be good for new users.

   Just wanted to let you know about www.tuxme.com. Might be something else to review in a future episode. I’ll let them know to regularly post about your new podcast releases there. Thanks

   Hey Chess,

   Stumbled across your podcast from the the Linux Link guys. Thanks mentioning our show!

   I’m freakin’ thrilled that you’re doing a new user thing. Prior to JaK Attack!, Kelly and I produced The GNU/Linux User Show on The Podcast Network which was aimed at new Linux users. We ended up doing 30 shows and covered topics like installing applications, running Windows programs, exploring desktop environments, where to get help (much like you did on show #3), and the like. We also interviewed a lot of the movers and shakers of the community like RMS himself, Nick Petreley, Mark Rais, Marcel Gagne, Aaron Seigo (Siego?), and Robin Miller.

   You can find 29 shows here (they only go up to #28 because there’s a show 11.5) and the last show here.

   In the end the significant time required to research and produce a new user show became too much to deal with. Kelly and I also discovered that we liked podcasting together and in order to do entire shows together we had to move away from the new Linux user model. Now we do The JaK Attack which as a Linux component (my part!) and a generally non-Linux component (Kelly’s part!)

   I always felt kind of bad about not being able to carry on with the new user stuff because there’s such a need for it. I’m glad you’re kind of picking up the slack and carrying on with new user info.

   Oh, as a note: I wouldn’t call TUX Magazine that new, would you? I interviewed Nick Petreley last summer when they first published. I guess in the scope of things, that’s kind of new…

   Good job!

    Jon,

    Yes, I was a big fan of the GNU/Linux User Show and had listened to all of your episodes. Your podcast was really sort of a model to me when coming up with Linux Reality. You and Kelly did great things in that podcast and if I can be half as successful I’ll be a happy camper.

    I am enjoying JaK Attack! and am glad that you and Kelly are continuing to podcast.

    Yeah, I know TUX Magazine is approximately a year old — just got issue 11, in fact — I guess I was thinking in the grand scheme of things, as compared to LJ for example.

    Thanks for stopping by Jon, and checking things out. Please feel free to give me any feedback on the shows themselves and what I can do better or differently. You have a lot more experience at this than I so I welcome your suggestions.
