Linux In Da House

Paige gets down and dirty with Gimpe and Inkscape, check out her work:

Original scanned drawing to the left (obviously) and the colorized version – done with Inkscape and Gimp.

Paige gives her opinion of RevolutionOS.  Do not expect us to post it here, you have to listen for yourself!  Also includes a brief discussion of BSD.

We talk about Stallman, Torvalds, and Raymond, and Paige gives her impressions.

Paige gets down and dirty with the Gimp and Inkscape as you can see from the images above.  While we both had homework, we are not ready to show what we had accomplished on our first attempts, it was very hard.

Paige’s homework for the week:  Listen to three different podcasts:

• Linux Action Show
• Gnu World Order
• Paige’s Choice

We hope that the next show will be a bit more earlier than the gap between the 3rd and 4th episdoes.

Tonight Paige reports on the four freedoms posited by the GNU manifesto.  She then gives an overview of OpenOffice and how it compares to the Office suites she uses in school.  We discuss the software used at school and what her friends use and the trials therein.  A challenge is levied by Peter64 to produce a wallpaper comparable to his by following tutorial #9 on the wonderful repository of 30 Gimp Tutorials he pointed us to.

Additionally, Paige is tasked with exploring OpenOffice Draw and watching RevolutionOS.
