    • You can render artistically in some way  your concept of a Raspberry Pi.  This can mean the computer, a raspberry  pie, or some other interpretation we haven’t thought of yet.  You can  use any artistic medium, from a sketch to beat poetry.  Be creative!   You will receive TWO entries into the contest if you choose this  option.  We will post your creativity on the Web site for others to  enjoy, and mention what you’ve done on the show. Have fun with it!
    • The  winner will receive a brand new Raspberry Pi, HDMI-to-DVI converter and  power supply with USB cable that can be used to power your new Pi from a  wall outlet or any powered USB port.  Thank you for being a loyal  follower of the show.  We look forward to your entries and best of luck!

LHS Episode #003

Richard and I had a lot going on in our lives over the past two weeks. Most of it had nothing to do with amateur radio or Linux. Luckily we managed to get Episode #003 recorded and as I write this it’s about 3:15am. But the podcast is going to be released on time. Please remember to send us that feedback, whether it’s by e-mail, comment on the LHS web site or the Black Sparrow Media forums.

In this episode, we discuss downloading and installing amateur radio software from remote repositories using the various commands provided by Debian-based Linux distributions. We also mention a few other kinds of package managers, those used by Red Hat, OpenSuSE, Gentoo and more. And we touch on installing applications from source code, among other juicy tidbits. Enjoy.
