No BS Podcast #80: Don't Worry, We Won't Call You Butters, Butters

Posted 10/17/2008 at 11:29:34pm

It has been a while since I listened to this podcast. But I had it on my to-do list to mention Linux LiveCDs as a solution to the network question posed during the podcast. Someone asked a question about a bad network card. And the solution given by the editors was to try a different OS. I think they said to reinstall Windows or something like that. 

I just use Knoppix, Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux when I run into a situation like that. And it works. I once proved OS X was being a bitch and the NIC on an eMac was OK by running PPC Ubuntu and connecting to the Net.
