Podcast Season 4 Episode 10
Title: Everybody loves Linus
In this episode: Two of the biggest distributions of the year have been released - Fedora 17 and Mint 13. Red Hat finds a solution to the UEFI problem with Windows 8 certified hardware, and both Steam and Carmageddon Reincarnation are coming to Linux. We've got more discoveries, a great Speak Your Brains section and one of the best Open Ballots for weeks.
What's in the show:
- Lightning News:
-
Fedora 17, the Beefy Miracle, has been released and squeezed onto our latest cover disc, along with the also-just-released Mint 13. Red Hat has clarified its position on UEFI. Carmageddon Reincarnation is coming to Linux, and Valve has confirmed Steam is coming to Linux in 2012. And don't forget, there's a new Humble Indie Bumble, featuring Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Bastion. Get it now! Finally, Microsoft is now supporting Linux on its Azure cloud platform, but not if you want Red Hat.

Further to the open ballot: one thing was really missing from the whole controversy, so I'm glad that I can reveal this exclusively made-up story, that one of the lead Gnome developers actually uses MATE as his preferred desktop environment.
This ought to be true, even if it isn't.
hmmm

Thanks for your exciting article. Other thing is that mesothelioma cancer is generally due to the inhalation of fibers from asbestos fiber, which is a dangerous material. It is commonly observed among individuals in the building industry who may have long experience of asbestos. It's also caused by living in asbestos covered buildings for an extended time of time, Your age plays a huge role, and some folks are more vulnerable to the risk than others. Wonderful!
