– I really enjoyed the website of this week 🙂
– I use KVM switches too, one annoying thing for me (I have one screen per box, I only switch away the mouse and keyboard) is that most BIOS won’t let the computer boot without an attached keyboard.
– Linux in your pocket. I thought I would just mention that on-disk.com now offers persistent Linux Mint flash drives.
@Clem – what BIOS is that? Most that I know allow setting the option “halt on errors” to “none” and thus you can boot without keyboard.
@Clem why not give Synergy a try? http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
The video on the website main page made me laugh. Nice episode!
Borsook: I’ll check that out, thanks.
Kamiyay: I’ll check that out too. 🙂
Charles,
Should “gnome” be pronounced with a silent “g” as in the mythical characters of fairy tales? Or, I read somewhere that it might be “gee-nome”. Since I knew no different I have always gone with the fairytale version. Just sounds funny “g-nome”.
BTW, I love the podcasts.
John
John: I think the proper pronunciation of Gnome is Gah-nome, or something like that. The G is supposed to be spoken. But I — like some of the other podcasters I listen to — think it sounds dumb, so I just use the classic pronunciation with a silent G.
I love Gnome (even more so after trying KDE again), but I don’t like the official pronunication of the term.
Thanks,
Charles
kvm switches make things alot easier
