well, here it is, unprepared and opinionated. :-P My podcast. After a week of podcastlessness, here it is. I'm not gurenteeing anything amazing, I'm just doing what I've always been doing.
Sed Pødcåst.
Production Notes:
W0W, I came rather unprepared for this one.
Forbidden Fruit (BT's and PVD's Food of Love Mix) [mixed down by yours truly].
A few srticles were mentioned, but the links to them were on my Windows HardDrive, and I haven't imported my bookmarks yet. Sorry. :-P
Well, most of this podcast seems to be either opinion, or just winblog. O well.
As for those pictures I mentioned, I still must set up the Palm with my Linux box; I will probably end up posting them here.

Hi Win :)
About Gentoo and ATI. I talk to a friend of mine, who is running a gentoo for one year now (maybe more).. He told me that if your kernel crashes when you modprobe the ATI modules, this surely means you compile a vanilla kernel, with no extra feature... You may be look at the kernel options to compile the good modules too.
About iTunes and linux : you have the equivalent of iTunes, with gtkpod. It uses GTK widgets of Gnome desktop ? It's available with debian :
apt-get install gtkpod
and gentoo, too
There are other linux based ipod handler, but I don't know them yet.
If you can't install Gentoo, give a try at the Ubuntu Linux. It's the desktop based debian... Much more friendly than installing a netinstall debian.

Note that with debian, MP3 support is not installed, because of license problem (MP3 isn no free). How ever you can update the system ;)

ubuntulinux looks pretty cool. I have been really happy with both debian and gentoo based systems here at home. Apt and emerge are both wonderful package managers.
Regarding linux and iTunes, I thought I would mention the CodeWeavers Office Plugin for linux. I have used it in a proffesional production environment, and they do some pretty amazing stuff.
Basically, it costs $39, but its a version of Wine that allows you to run great Windows applications flawlessly in linux. These guys actually contribute a LOT of the development code to the Wine project, they just happen to also have a good business model that works for them. In the new 4.0 version, they even added iTunes! Now, I run Mac OS X as well as linux, but if I were in a linux only environment, then I'd definitely be running this. Besides, its always good to support open source projects. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
Win,
Hey there man... great podcast. I'm adding it to my list which includes Adam Curry, Wizards of Technology, Leo LaPorte, and Russell Holliman's mobilepodcast.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Daniel :)
I guess you're the older brother Win is speaking :)
I agree with you with the apt / emerge managing packet. I had to try Mandrakelinux 10.0, and discover urpmi. I must say, that urpmi is the best rpm packet manager I know. Better than apt for asking you what packet you want to install if there's many packet with approximatively the same name :) I like emerge for it's management to.. pretty nice :) With Debian, I'm using sometimes Synaptic, which is a GUI for apt.
I know Codeweaver product. I test them with a multimedia product we develop at work (using shockwave); I'm really impressed even schockwave is working ! Wow :)
How ever, emulation is still emulation. I hope there would be a good iTunes applications under linux. gtkPod is nice. OK, it has not the beauty of iTunes and stick efficiency. But this work :)
I'm using linux on a daily basis (debian Sid) at home. And working on website most of the time under Windows (even if I could do this with linux.. but, well... I don't know :p ) I'm trying to use as must as possible cross platform software and on the windows part, as much as possible free or open source apps.
You can email me if you want, Win has my email adress somewhere on gmail :)
