Not sure if they will mention something in the podcast but here you go:

Via email, Glen Skiner picked up on Paddy talking about Markdown editors, and recommended ReText. Glen also pointed us towards the LinuxBBQ website, which has a frightening number of Debian sid based variants to download.

They literally said that. they hadn't d/led anything.

very nice podcast, about the only one I've enjoyed listening to.

^ It is something new I discovered some time ago and I find them interesting, they are also Debian guys but sometimes their approach on distro reviewing is strange.

[wuxmedia]

^ yeah really enjoyed the Rob Landley interview.
One guy seems very technical - the other more want's it to just work, which is a good combo.
I think a Rhopresentative of the grill should at least email them a link to the 'about' page. 8)
So they get an idea before saying, how weird they think it is that there isn't a DM and why isn't libre office et al on the ISO...

[rhowaldt]

^ if you want it done, do it ;)

Yes, clearly they missed the "About" page.

I just don't get the kind of reviews that wonder why this or that isn't available on the ISO. Seriously? Do these people not know/understand what repos and package managers are? Are they on dial-up connections? WTF? If you want your hand held through your OS usage, just go back to Windows or Mac.

[GekkoP]

^ that's exactly what I'm trying to explain in my BBQ reviews. Hope some Italians will get it. ;)

[machinebacon]

There are always at least 10, sometimes even more special editions on the grill. If somebody does not even want to go through the list of releases to search for those (or come here and ask), then I am more than happy these people stay away from here. ;)

heyhey, just came across this one after Googling. it has our old friend kidx asking a question, and sunrat from 1st post-fame (see bacon's in this thread) bringing the love: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=106345

[GekkoP]

Let's talk about Sidbang, shall we? http://informatica.boccaperta.com/linux ... -unstable/

Thanks for all the italian love GekkoP, nice write up. ...e siamo anche pazzi...:))

[GekkoP]

^ thank you. It is really my pleasure writing all that. ;)

[wuxmedia]

^ It shows!
For me, a non Italian speaker. The only sad aspect is that google translate mangles the translation to English, knowing how you write perfect English 8)
even so, "translate" does get the point across, your humour and personality are a joy to read.
actually started reading a few more pages, until I was called away by a troublesome server.

[GekkoP]

^ thanks. Still working on improving my English skills though ;)

[ivanovnegro]

Nice Gekko as usual. Thanks for the write up.
