Episode 100 - The Final Episode
In this, the last Linux Reality episode: I bring back some old audio clips, fire up one last listener tip, play a bunch of audio comments, and then take a few minutes to say thanks. I mentioned the reasons for ending the show in Episode 96 but now I would like to say thank you, everybody, for a great ride. It's been a great two years. This site, the podcast feed and files, the forums, and the IRC channel will remain up and active for the forseeable future, and I'll still be around. In the meantime, keep on hackin'.

Customer Reviews
My first Linux Podcast
This was the first Linux Podcast I started listening to, and I started with episode 3. I still am an active listener, not a day-to-day Linux user, but I still enjoy the Podcast very much. Chess you're doing an excellent job. Please keep them coming.
A wealth of knowledge!
This is the perfect podcast for me! As the subtitle says, it is aimed at the new linux user.
I've listened to about 10 back-episodes so far, and learned something from every one. Chess Griffin has a great conversational presentation, and gives all the details without making you feel like he's a teacher talking to a child.
Well Done, Grab this Podcast!
If you're curious about Linux. Grab this Podcast FIRST. I'd suggest starting with episode1, and working your way to the current episode. A Well produced podcast. Sounds good. Tastes great.
I can't say enough good things about Chess and his podcast.
