Open Source On The Air - Episode 18
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are back.
This fortnight, not only are we returning with the LUG Roundup, but we have a very special interview with Ian Murdock, formerly the ian in debian, now working for Sun with Open Solaris. I talk with Ian about Project Indiana, an ambitious attempt at creating what can only be called "the" Open Solaris distro.
So sit back and enjoy.
