Slackchat

Hello everyone

I've been helping Exaga recently with SARPi and we got to talking about the wider project and Slackware community, and had this crazy idea that we should record our conversations and publish them as podcasts!

We have a list of key themes we'll get around to covering, and you could ask us questions for us to discuss by posting them here.

We have no sense as to whether anyone will find them interesting, but we've done two already.

Enjoy!

Listening to episode 1 now, very enjoyable so far. Also, never heard of acast before so thank you for that as well.

I look forward to listening to it sometime next week; I'll add it to my podcatcher tonight. (Tomorrow's pretty booked.)

LOL @ 'recently'. Recently is actually +7 years!

Episode 3 is up. We fix Phil's elilo problem on Slackware 64, which brings us to discuss dependencies in Slackware.
We discuss a little about 64bit ARM and more about the roots of the ARM port.

This definitely sounds better with headphones until the sound can be sorted out (which requires a little monetary investment on my side!)

This is really interesting stuff! I was searching for some Slackware related podcasts!

Thanks for the feedback. We have a couple more topics to discuss, perhaps next week. I'm not sure what we'll talk about after that though!

Wow, I really enjoyed those, thanks for putting them out! It made me realize that I am not alone in my passion for getting Slackware to run on ARM machines. Keep 'em coming!

For those that have JavaScript issues, I sypmathize. The simple workaround is to click on the RSS link (which was not what I expected it to be, how to I subscribe to this feed?), and you wind up on a page that has direct download links, no JS needed.

Thanks! I think for 2 guys with no script, talking about all things Slackware and whatever's on their minds, it comes across really well indeed.

Without JS you don't even get to see the rss link, and non of the buttons work on the main page, but thank you for providing that link, which does allow access to the content.

But the download links are working on that page, yes?

Yes. shelldweller's link works. Listening now.

In page media players work and you can download with "save-link-as". It's just the main page linked in post 1 that leaves you stranded.
