So, this is the second to the last episode before the big hiatus and we were feeling it as you might have been able to tell.  Talking before the podcast we both agreed that we were getting a bit lazy!  so I will try to keep this short staying tru to the motif of the podcast.  Oh, BTW, I have recently read an article about links in seperate windows and it is considered bad form to turn this feature on and the decision to open an article, whether in the same window or in a seperate one, should be made by the viewer.  To open an article in a seperate window just right click the link and in the menu choose open link in a new window or in a new tab.  Here are the links below:

Hardy Heron Release

So, the day we podcast (mind you this is a day mostly set in stone unless either me or Peter have something better to do...ahem) and the day the "most significant" Ubuntu release ever falls on the same day! Coincidence you say? Perhaps - I on the other hand prefer to think that the "most significant" Ubuntu related "things" are happening because some cosmic alignment of epic proportions is taking place. Hey folks, this is too good to make up so I'm going with it. Now on to the podcast, we experienced a little "technical" difficulty as Peter's connection dropped and the bandwidth allocation seemed to lower suddenly at the same time. This doesn't make for easy listening or editting for that matter. But, I believe everything turned out ok so I won't harp about it any more. After all, it's very rare to have a cosmic alignment and have everything go perfectly. We also tried to do live streaming through Talkshoe.com and I think we might have a lot of the kinks worked out and production should get easier with every passing episode. More on that later. Before I go any further I would like to officially announce the grand unveiling of the new Fresh Ubuntu Podcast Logo! Yet another cosmic convergence! It was designed using the most excellent open source vector graphics program called Inkscape, which makes life so much more easier since the latest release came out. Of course, as we mentioned in the podcast this is a rolling logo in that it could change as distributions are released, so look forward to that. So here is a picture of it:
