Fresh Ubuntu

My humble apologies for taking so long to get this podcast out. As I transition to a new line of work things should get back to a more normal schedule. In any event, this one is finally out and ready for consumption. This week I talk about how to read and write to an NTFS drive and much more. I also have some interesting new packages that were brought to my attention by one listener. He has an excellent alternative for MS Visio, must hear podcast. Below are the links, enjoy!

clcotw - Create a file (the fast way) with "touch"

shell>touch foobar.log

Bam! You've successfully created foobar.log. It's much faster than running vi, saving, and exiting. Touching an existing file updates the time it was last modified.
