[baillou2]

"Microsoft is SO BIG that they, like, have good parts and evil parts."

LOLOL Well said Chris.

[bugeb]

one things for sure. IT WILL BE BETTER WINDOWS

[EgoShredder]

The guy on the left with the glasses is so easy and relaxing to listen to, wheras the guy on the right is constantly talking so fast he must feel dizzy....woah so stressful to listen to; calm down for gods sake! :D Nice show though.

[TOMMY95215]

Hate it how some people have to have a war bout f***ing everything. I love windows, macs, and linux. Thumbs up if you agree computers rock!!

[RareAirSupply]

Your mics are MXL 990 and Rode Procaster... Am I right?

[ProManUnitedFan]

Skip to 0:29:10 for the review. Thumbs up so everyone can see the review straight away without having to wait 29 minutes for the review

[wilkoskill]

@ProManUnitedFan thanks for cutting the shit man. thumbs up

[pendulousphallus]

Buddy needs to drop the pedostache.

[MadDingo800]

there is a very simple reason why anyone would want to use Windows it just works no coding no messing about with command line code no searching forums to get your games to run just install and go all the drivers are made for windows with very few exceptions.

But I do agree that Ubuntu is the Best freeware os going at the minute it hits the right spot for newbies and experienced user alike it comes loaded with every app your average home user needs full office suite video and photo editing

[j800r]

wine is made insanely easier with PlayOnLinux. I also have a Cedega subscription, and PlayOnLinux is on par with Cedega, a commercial product! gaming support on Linux has come a hell of a long way. It's not perfect, but it's just about good enough.

[drwhoknowitall]

amatuer question...

what did you use to edit this video

[JanusChristIsRisen]

Any mention of the fact that 10.04 installs Grub on drives that you haven't installed Linux on? I tried fixmbr and fixboot and Grub still won't let me boot Windows XP.

[Papelmusic]

LOL. The fat guy is using a MAC. It's a linux show and he is using a MAC: The most expensive computer ever. So contradictory.

[twalsh2005]

Coca-Cola product placement is excessive :/

[NoMercyGiven]

i loved playing robots..

[themacfan16]

os x is better

[Ebdomos]

@themacfan16

Linux is more flexible, now leave us alone.

[818doodooroo]

@themacfan16 i had osx and i still do, the thing with it is, its just too simple and sometimes it gets boring. that's why i moved to linux, its more challenging in some ways...

[ProManUnitedFan]

@themacfan16 They both run on Unix, so they're very similar

[0987654321284]

you spend an hour reviewing linux? i can review it in a sentance. it sucks and you should try windows or mac instead.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@0987654321284 do you actually have it probably not im using one right now and im enjoying myself i only miss 1 thing from windows a good editing software. and mac is well know for editing videos i hear from so many freinds they would rather work hard on a pc then a mac cause it sucked.

[0987654321284]

@MrAwesomesauce101 what are you talking about? what do i not have? what you said is that mac is known for editing but you would rather do editing on a pc.

[MrLizzier]

havent seen such a bullshit vid before....crappiest of all

[MrBurlacu]

2 fags

[Spasserases]

1 hour 5 mins? How the hell? ;D

[007v3x]

Firefox is listed in the ubutu software centre in 10.04... xD

[mariuszkono]

what's up with bottle of coca cola dude ?

[Duvalinson63]

@mariuszkono advertisement.....they will pay you a shit load of money just to hold a bottle

[IchigoRukia09]

I have this OS it's pretty good :)

[Octolink64]

no reason to not use it?....netflix, that's a dealbreaker. Also I technically cant play DVDs without breaking the law :/

[tf2exe]

The only problem I had with this release is that the default disc burner doesn't like RW discs. It will erase them, but it won't recognise them after.

[testament0221]

So what actually stops Linux from playing games natively, without the use of WIne or whatever?

[supercoolguyT]

@testament0221 There isnt any easily avaible. :(

[Ov3rK1LL3000]

@testament0221 i know i wish linux would run all windows games! it sucks for not supporting GTA IV PC

[Tobiash87]

@Ov3rK1LL3000 Rockstar sucks for not making a Linux version of the game. It's hard to even properly install and configure GTA IV in Windows XP. They're shitty programmers.

[Windowsist]

How did you guys put a 1 hour video on youtube? (The limit is 10 minutes)

[testament0221]

How does gaming on Ubuntu work? What do I need to do to get WoW up and running, with no performance or quality loss? What about Ventrilo?

[sham1one]

@testament0221 windows games dont work on linux. you can use wine but the games will still have bugs in them.

[Tiars666tiamat]

@testament0221 There are various ways. There's Wine, PlayOnLinux (wine with a better frontend for games and some extra scripts), Crossover Games (like playonlinux but it's more professional and you have to pay for it) and Cedega (nothing to do with Wine ANYMORE, not opensource and you have to pay also) If your willing to pay go with Crossover Games, if not go with PlayOnLinux and Wine

[rogermsw]

10.4 sucks.... get Mint

[HeyIamAJ]

@rogermsw mint is 10.04 with a theme and manager layover added on. I always laugh when ppl say that mint is better because if Ubuntu "sucks" - Mint still has all the upstream problems that you don't like about Ubuntu, so whatever you don't like it has in there.

Mint has literally no changes, besides some alternative software and codecs installed. Themes and stuff like that are different, but the mint menu is ugly and now most ppl agree that Ubuntu looks better than mint, so why switch to Mint?

[rogermsw]

I love Linux, but you guys give it a bad name... I talk to people about Linux and aways get the "it's for geeks" and god! you guys promote the geek handle totally. And why would you have all those Social account.... GET A LIVE open the door and walk out to the street and TALK TO SOMEONE.

[lowtone10]

10.04 had too many problems. even from fresh install. i will upgrade when 9.10 reaches the end of its desktop support

[lowtone10]

lol you're voices go right through me. as in it vibrates my ribcage!

[lowtone10]

do you use appbrain?

[kamaboko1]

As luck would have it, I installed Mint 8 a week prior to your Ubuntu 10.04 comments. So...I broke down today and installed it on my Asus 1000HA netbook. Wow, this is impressive. I agree, I think Linux has finally made it to the average user. My wireless printer of all things was detected and the drivers installed.

[Yupiyeahs]

It broke my printer support. Where do i report the bug? :P

[lowtone10]

@Yupiyeahs ubuntu-forums com

[13tomj]

this ver of ubuntu compiz duz not work no issues last ver this odd to me .

[hibbijo]

I never noticed the icons not really matching, now its gonna bug the hell out of me... Oh well off to fix it XD

[mpalen19]

This was a very informational and entertaining show.. Good job!!

[godofbeats]

did they ever fix that wireless problem in 9.10 i never could update to that version.

any tips ppl?

[Ormaaj]

51:30 This is why rolling release distros rock. I've been on this same install for 5 years. It's almost impossible to break beyond repair. About the only thing that could cause that would be to corrupt the package manager database.

Of course rolling releases have their own issues with stability testing and such, but you also don't have to mess with backporting which makes it worth it. I'd never want to reinstall every 6 months.

[kamaboko1]

@bryan...are you using netbook remix or full desktop ubuntu 10.04 on your netbook?

[Shakez76]

@kamaboko1

He mentions in a previous episode that he does not like the netbook remixes and is running the regular desktop version.

[Shakez76]

Great show guys....btw best friggen Beer is Tastey EVER this week! Never laughed so much in an episode. People on the bus prolly thought I was slipping. Got ya both followed on twitter now so i might actually catch it Live!

Keep up the good work guys.

(put podcast in mv4 format pweeze!)

[flarbton]

Linux? and you question why Apple wants to streamline and stabilize their platfrom? lol, what you want is Monopolysoft domination clusterfuck landscape all over again on Apple's revolutionary iPhone OS platform, and Jobs will never go there. 60 codecs and an ocean of crashtastic garbage to bog down your mobile devices like MS Windows hell all over again.

[ThingsontheWeb]

Dana Patrick ... the girl with two names ... don't blame ya for choosing godaddy ... two names can seem like a minas a twa

[dannoffs]

RPM in Fedora has that nice rollback feature chris talks about in around 55:30

[nuclearbananaphone]

I feel that suing an open-source or generally non-profit entity is a bit like robbing the impoverished.

[ecthomason]

What's wrong with Firefox? I would try Chrome, but I heard it tracks everything I do even when I'm not logged into my google account. Is that true?

[northwestbrett]

great show guys!

[krislyttle]

MUCH better video quality this time around guys. And super-sweet content as always. Great job.

[RobLoach]

OGG FTW!

[Danny77uk]

Native linux versions of the big games? I wouldn't hold my breath.

[BonScottAC]

Off topic, i love the shows guys but your youtube page is depressing the gray sucks.

[thekatrinacrew]

@BonScottAC gray? lloks white 2 me

[nvanadium]

I must address that Ubuntu 10.04 gives a black screen upon booting from Live CD for a lot of users. I searched online and found a solution but then the resolution was still messed up and didn't register my laptop's monitor. VERY disappointing. This is the stuff that turns new users away. Its the basic things I wish Ubuntu would just focus on and get right. It would help convert those those that are adventurous enough to move away form Mac or Windows.

[rubik224]

Great Show :D

Where did you get the background from? :)

[librano]

Great Ubuntu review... though I've had my own issues with the new release. However, they are nothing your average user would be messing around with. I still only have Ubuntu on VM but I might give it a go.

About the MS patent issue... Doesn't their way of going about it amount to extortion or blackmail? The companies that use Linux and the Linux foundation should really do something about this. Take MS to court and make them say what these patents are and we'll change the code!

[XxDITONExX]

U guys should start releasing the behind the scenes videos again.

[jupiterbroadcasting]

@XxDITONExX We do this show live at 10am Pacific on Sunday. We keep the camera rolling for all the behind the scenes stuff

[Yupiyeahs]

@jupiterbroadcasting I like the behind the scenes version over that edited one. Maybe it's just me, but just saying. :P

[XxDITONExX]

@jupiterbroadcasting Its just harder for me, since I live in Singapore. 10 AM sunday is 7 pm monday. But hey, i'm going to guess that's just me

[STLFANSS]

As much as I wanted to watch this and I know you guys know your stuff I just can't stomach it. Awful awful video quality and you guys act stupid more than you tell us anything. But thanks for letting us know that version is out so I can go look at it elsewhere.

[librano]

@STLFANSS I totally know what you're saying! I get myself some nice LAS quality on Miro and then I come here to rate and comment...

[TradieTrev]

Great show as always guys. Really keen about steam coming to linux.

[awsometurkey]

yea dudes why you using a crappy converting, let me guess umm flv at around 6k kbits video?

[vwbond]

Video quailty is really bad here...why?

[commodore256]

@vwbond Wait for it to process.

[sanjuacharya]

Yay
