At the moment, one of the links we listed in episode 15 is not working.

It looks like Linuxhaxor.net is down at the moment. That's the site which has the article with links to download the 10 free ebooks.

I expect that Linuxhaxor will be back up again shortly. Try the link again later today, or tomorrow. The link in the show notes is correct.

Cheesy Software

I apologize for the way the blog entry looks for mintCast episode 13. It looks nothing like that when I preview it, and I can't seem to make it look like the other blog/podcast entries here. I don't know why. This is not the first time I've had difficulty with the software that runs this web site.
