Actually I’m running gnome-shell (the new interface for Gnome 3) right now. Even though it’s way before alpha, it’s incredibly stable and breaks nothing. It’s still missing some features like applet support and an easy way to change volume, but they’ve got a year to get those things in place. Also, you can’t run Compiz with it which is really quite a bummer, but I guess those issues will be worked out. Check it out: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Love the podcast. I would love to hear more about multi-media stuff

Donnie, thanks for the feedback. Nick and I and other members of the Florida LoCo do have something in the works to provide more videos on all sorts of features, software, and multi media. So stay tuned to the feed because we have some cool stuff coming out!

This episode #27 i like it because of the open discussion and news. Maybe do a tutorial ever now and then.

Two hour drive wasn’t too bad, & the release party was awesome,
If TN LoCo Doesn’t have a Release Party for 9.10 I’ll do it again.

Just saw you podcast for the first time. Good quality content. Downloading over 600 mb in iTunes is problematic, especially since video did not contribute much relevant to subject. No curtains, no art on wall, and no women.

First time viewer of podcast. Content good, video not cool. No curtains, no art on wall, no women. A large percentage of the 600 mb download delivered very little.

Did not try UBUNTU for several years because of gnome interface and awkward network tools. Prefer MEPIS with KDE because of power of network tool and no problems with video, ever, and no download of proprietary drivers necessary. MEPIS just works.

Using Jaunty on laptop because wireless tool finally works. Gnome is nothing special. KDE richer in applications like Amarok, K3B, KTorrent, etc. I can download evolution for MEPIS, anyway.

Thanks for the podcast. I will keep on watching/listening if I can afford the superfast download service on my cable sysem.

Thanks you so much for the stable drivers!!! my Intel X3100 is working again! (unfortunately, i still need to wait for Compiz to load on startup, but hey, clicking ‘reload window manager” isn’t that hard :) )

10x again, and keep up the great work!
