Maxim Sirius: Mac&PC issues.
This morning I was listening to the Rich and Covino reruns for the week on sirius and they had a segment on the MAC vs PC commercials and stuff, and i was rather sad i didnt hear anything about linux mentioned at all. SO i wrote Covino an email.

Covino,
Just recently caught a late night re-run of the whole Mac vs PC show you and Rich did. Interesting how many Mac users called in, but I really didn’t hear any linux users. There are a large community of us who actually listen to Sirius, but I’d like to make mention about a few distributions if you have time to review, and might be interesting for you listed below:
Mint Linux
Ubuntu Linux
So why would I recommend these..
-The interface is close to windows but is completely “Free” of price.
-Generally will work “Out of the Box” or Burnt to a CD.
-You can Burn “Live” CD’s which contains the whole Operating System on the CD.
Ie. -Put them in your CD/DVDrom.
-Boot from it.
-let it boot up ( takes like 2 minutes )
-Will work in (Almost_Any) PC’s or Laptops
-Has several programs that can replace most/all programs you use.
Just a thought, and best regards,

off time
Infusions:
Harvested my Pineapple yesterday... Mmm mmm good esp when i run out the fruit.
Cinnamon is still going, but wont be able to experiment further until next paycheck.
Linux Boxs Idea:
Saw an advert for very cheap linux compatible machines... Oooo ahh :) 150$ and for 15$ more they will throw on the 512 stick... not so bad, they are the OLD ibm table top style but would make a great foot rest.... >>>Maybe<<< make plexy tops for them or just buy plexy and dremel it myself and mount them in it.
Although... in reality i could just chuck another 50$ and get a Gpc with better specs and toy with it.
Reality im going for maximum boxs per small space and probably could effectively shrink the Surface area a Gpc takes up.

Not possible I figure because of the bulky PSU, might be best to keep it in its current accomedations.

Update
Havested:
Pineapple on the 1st, Very good =)
older lemon/lime with cran and blueberry - made a Cello with it.
Filtered and back burnered the lime skin/cran for some future adventures added about 1/8 cup of syrup too.
No change:
Cinnamon - great warm flavor.
Blue berry - smells great =)
1x Pineapple sitting to age w/o harvest still.
cranberry the same.
Nothing new yet...
Consideration:
Another 2x pineapple.
