[ Linux Today reader Cy Guy writes: ]

“NPR’s syndicated talk show Public Interest, as part of
its Tech Tuesday series (the same series that has The Computer Guys
on the first Tuesday of each month) will this week have a show on
Linux.

“[Host] Kojo [Nnamdi] and guests [Matt Welsh, author of “Running
Linux”, and Alan McConnell, mathematician, scientist, statistician,
and computer consultant] discuss the growing popularity of the
Linux operating system and answer your questions about installation
and use of this free, open source, system.”

The show is archived on realaudio format, and should be
available here
by 10/4/99. Check here
to see if a local broadcast is available in your area.”
