I did a show not too long ago, in fact it is in the “Past Shows” section with a guy named David Slater who talks about Ubuntu, he sings the praises of the OS and if I wasn’t so “locked down” with MS based software apps I would change myself! That is how convincing he was. He did mention an app that allows MS based code to work on Ubuntu… Is that true?
