Two of the three computers are back up, running Linux. There will be a Linux episode in the future. Check out the Linux Reality podcast by Chess Griffin. The most popular episode so far has been Episode 10 about the National Traffic System. A possible future episode might be about the ARES network. Anyone involved in ARES, please contact Richard and share your experiences.
