Hello everyone! I am currently scheduling for our anniversary show titled, “OS Wars”. We are looking for hardcore Linux, Windows, and Mac fans that would be willing to come on the show and defend their OS of choice. This episode will be somewhat tongue-in-cheek as we want to have some fun with this age old argument. Think “Jerry Springer”. We will record on 3/28 at 4:00 p.m. CST and the show will air on 3/31. Please contact me if you are interested in coming on this show and defending your OS. Send me an email @: shawn@thetightwadtech.com
The Tightwad Tech is a podcast by and for those in the education field who face ever-growing demands and ever-shrinking budgets. We discuss the strategic implementation of free and open source software as well as the creative deployment of hardware.
In this show, aimed at making desktop Linux approachable and understandable to the average computer enthusiast, a panel of Linux experts and Linux newbies discuss the the joys and pitfalls of Everyday Linux.
