Interesting podcast, entertaining as usual.
However, I did not hear any references to the Stolen Earth, which title
I assume you took from a recent Doctor Who episode. But no mention of
the Doctor or the Daleks...
I wonder what a Dalek running on Ubuntu would be like?

I think it's still early days for those kinds of concerns. The Chrome OS
will have to face being the new contender for at least a little while, yet.
And like others have said, we want some high profile non-Apple competition
to raise awareness of the choices available. If that is achieved, it'll

If you're not planning on gaming, just using HD for video and compiz
then a low powered nvidia card would be fine. An nvidia 8400gs only
costs about £25 from ebuyer and most of them have passive cooling (no
fan and therefore silent). With these nvidia cards you can playback HD
video with very l
Im yet to buy the television so i dont know the resolution.i dont really
need it for gaming as i dont really that often anyway.
I would definately like to get some HD viewing but i dont think i would be
able to stream a HD signal to the TV (see earlier post :) )
That fact that it is silent is bri

An OS from google can only be a good thing for ubuntu, getting peoples
heads around the idea of alternative OSs. More high profile choices
will equal more progress. Right now almost anyone i speak to has no
idea what the OS is, and that you can even run a non apple computer on
anything but windows.
I am thinking of installing a graphics into my machine finally.
Can you please suggest a cheap graphics card?
It must:
PLAY NICE WITH UBUNTU. (easy to set up. no problem with compiz)
display HD for a screen size of at least 37".
Not require extra cooling.
Looking forward to your comments!

I see that the Archos 10 netbook is now available in the UK, unfortunately it
won't be the 10 SKU version which comes with Ubuntu 9.04. Suppose I could
always pop over to France and buy it.

Hi Lee,
Yes, I saw this too, and I am quite tempted. I hope the ATi card has no
issues with Compiz, I would like to put Ubuntu on it though the Linpus
site shows a cube so I would hope it does work. Some have had issues
with Acers before, it is a bit of an outlay for me, would get an extra

I think Google will have to look at partners in this and as Ubuntu has a
very large user base, surely, it would be foolish to ignore them. But then
again they did ignore Sun's java for Google Chrome.

The telegraph have also made the same mistake as the Beeb, even worse though
is some of the so called non-linux tech news sites have made the same
presumptions.
For me is the HTML 5 standard, does that mean Google might go the
opensourced route with their media playing etc.

How many OEMs ship Ubuntu as an easily available option on
netbooks/laptops/desktops/ right now, and how many will in 2010 when
Google OS releases?
How many will Google have?

I generally find the Beeb's tech and IT reporting to be limited. There are
some things the Beeb does very well, but Tech isn't one of them.

Just saw this myself. How soon until we get Goobuntu or Uchromtu?
My take? Overall this will be a good thing as, increasingly, the OS will be
irrelevent therefore the OS will increasingly be Linux. Even Microsloth will
find a way to make money out of it.
Everyone's a winner!
Cheers
