Bad Voltage Season 1 Episode 9 ‘The Starting Pitstop’ Is Out

by | Thu 13 Feb 2014

Stuart Langridge, Jeremy Garcia, Bryan Lunduke, and myself wend our troublesome ways down the road of:

* We weigh in on the upstart/systemd brouhaha in Debian and discuss what happened, why it happened, and whether it was a good thing or not.
* Bryan reviews the Lenovo Miix 2 tablet and we get into the nitty gritty of what you can do with it.
* We take a trip down memory lane about how we each got started with Linux, which distributions we used, and who helped us get on our journey.
* We take a recap and look at community feedback about guns, 3D printing, predictions, Bad Voltage gaming, the Bad Voltage Selfie Competition and more, all making an appearance.

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...
