Distrohoppers' Digest

Posted 01-24-2022 at 11:49 PM by zaivala

Next month's episode will be our #030th. We will likely be trying something new -- evaluating the same (sort of) distro from the eyes of a noobie-like desktop user AND from the eyes of a skilled tech. Our testbed baby will be Gecko Linux -- I will be doing STATIC Budgie, and Dale will be doing ROLLING with a different desktop.

We have grown to where, according to archive dot org, we are getting close to 1000 downloads per episode. We are not at all sure how complete this data is,...

Crawling Back

Posted 01-15-2022 at 11:59 PM by zaivala

As of last Sunday, I am back as a co-host of mintCast, in addition to my other duties as co-founder/co-host of Distrohoppers' Digest and news reader at Full Circle Weekly News.

I am able to do this due to an inheritance from my mother and my inability to stay at a job due to weakness resulting from an accident almost 2 years ago. So I have time on my hands and, until the inheritance runs out, enough money to live on.

I hope my listeners are happy to see me back on mintCast....

Happy Birthday To Me

Posted 12-04-2021 at 12:40 PM by zaivala

I never thought I would get this old (69). Never thought it would take so long for Linux to take over the desktop world. I outlived my parents (my mother died in January of covid-19), I just had my first 5-year anniversary (after many tries). I've been using Linux on and off since about 2002, and it's currently the only operating system(s) I use, has been since 2015. I left mintCast podcast back in April, but I'm still on Full Circle Weekly News (by myself) and Distrohoppers' Digest (with Tony Hughes...

Leaving mintCast

Posted 05-16-2021 at 03:15 PM by zaivala

I have, with a heavy heart, decided to leave the team at mintCast podcast. I started with the rest of the team currently working (except for a couple newer additions) in October 2018. In terms of who has hosted this show, which has run since Nov 2008, I'm currently #9 on the list, although in a few months I could fall to #10 as my friend Tony Hughes passes me.

I still have Distrohoppers' Digest, which I started with Tony Hughes and now also host with Dale Miracle, and am the solo...

Full Circle Weekly News Anchor

Posted 04-01-2021 at 11:45 AM by zaivala

I just got a message in my Telegram from Ronnie Tucker, congratulating me on becoming the new voice of Full Circle Weekly News podcast. This show should be weekly, and I intend to keep it to that as much as possible, and will run 3-5 minutes in length so it should not be hard to fit into your listening time. It is featured on podcatchers everywhere. I'll let you know when I actually go into production. I am not a skilled audio editor yet, but have lots of experience as a news reader and have a...
