Linux news on BBC >CLICK

#1 Post by garrincha »

I was just watching the technology news >CLICK on BBC news 24, they have a feature on the open sources, GNU/Linux and free softwares. A nice little programme for the general public, there was a shot at one point of someone with a laptop and the Debian swirl clearly visible. Of course, they talked about Ubuntu, Ooo, t-bird etc, just a gentle introduction for the curious.

There is a video of this program in the link above.

Too bad the BBC decided AGAINST using open formats:
Ogg Streaming
Unfortunately the BBC decided not to pursue development and testing of Ogg Vorbis streaming. There are currently no plans to resume this at a later date.

Nonetheless, this Click program looks good!
