I have two things to share with you this morning. The first is an excellent podcast I've discovered that deals with all things Linux and most things FOSS. Each episode tends to be in the neighborhood of thirty to forty-five minutes, and the host talks about all kinds of things from file system structure and how to use cron to compiling from source. It's called Linux Reality, it's geared at the beginning to intermediate Linux user, and it can be found at http://www.linuxreality.com/.
