Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

This Penguin's Steering Clear of the Tiger

 
I currently use Xandros as one of my main desktop operation systems; the other is a Mac running Panther. Xandros is a flavor of Linux, another operating system you've probably heard of. (The other major operating system you're certainly familiar with is Windows, like I had to tell you that shit.)

Xandros and I have been getting along rather well; my eMachine had some problems running Windows so I made the switch to Linux by installing the free version of Xandros. After a few months of playing with that and finding nearly everything working (the things that didn't work appear to have been been due to a faulty eMachines computer, which seems to be having issues), I happily upgraded to the Deluxe Desktop Edition of Xandros.

So I'm happy to see that Xandros is hiring. This gives me some indication that the company is doing well, or at least expanding. It tells me they're going to be around a bit longer, and that means I'll be safe using their distro (what you call a particular flavor of Linux) - safe from having to purchase another operating system anytime soon.

As for that old Mac of mine: as much as I'd love to run with the Tigers, I'd really rather not pitch out another $129 to do so. I'm sure I'll ending up buying it eventually, at a vastly reduced price on eBay or something (or maybe, if I'm really lucky, I'll find it at Goodwill). Perhaps my girlfriend will pick it up at the educational discount price. For now, I'm sticking with Xandros; it's cheap and it runs everything I need it to, and more.

Comments:
Sounds too technical for me. I'm still trying learn this blogging stuff.
