Just wanted to take a quick moment to thank the gentlemen over at Going Linux for mentioning us on their most recent podcast. They certainly have discussed many interesting topics over the course of the last 83(!) podcasts and seem to always have some new tip or trick waiting on deck to tell us all about! I highly recommend their podcast to anyone looking to learn new things about Linux.
Thanks again guys!
