It’s a huge pleasure to have Robert Menes join us this week to talk about Linux and Linux accessories. We discuss the philosophy of free open source software, alternatives to commercial software, gaming in Linux, and veer off on a wild meandering tangent for a good hour or so to talk about the finer things. Robert was an awesome guest and seasoned podcaster so you can expect a densely info-packed show!

The song at the end of this week’s podcast is Musical Induction by Replay (available in a free open source MOD format, of course!)
