Thank you for the new podcast,

A comment on introducing GNU/Linux via applications, if installing openoffice on a windows machine, remind people that it saves documents in open document format and if sending doc to other Word users etc, they need to save as .doc format. I think MS is producing converters now but general users may find this an initial inconvenience if they have to convert.

A point of note on MINT on their website for 2.2 Bianca
- mintDisk only works on installed system, not from the liveCD (this is due to a problem in the installer)


The previous 'broadcasts from the boat' were great and you chose your new presenters well
