Why not advocate FOSS in music ? :D

and spot on with the topic ... well, maybe not, more like a rant against windoze ...

I've a dualboot

Don't like 'hate' against windows... Just be glad that you are able to work with Gnu/Linux
(I'd better love an positive attitude)

c'mon, it's just funny, a joke

c'mon, it's just funny, a joke

... but in general it is bad promotion (of FOSS in this case) when you bash other Os/ people... (or am I to serieus again now )

I think this song is better, a remix of Linux who's presenting Linux made with terminatorX

Good idea, maybe go a little further and advocate freedom in general.
After all, if nobody's free to choose to write free software, there will be no free software.
Everybody has to "make an income", and only after doing that, we're free to write software that doesn't make an income.
The freedom to do something that doesn't make money is very important for FOSS in my opinion.

Packet In is doing some of that this month for our RPM09 challenge.

Jack Is Still My Jack
Ardouration Nation
Eca's Sound
Audacity Of Hope

Possibly more to come. Doing other things as well.

anyone got any particulary good gnu/linux vocal samples?

i'd be up for making a track out out of them.

[simta]

so i got the samples direct from Stallman himself and here is the track

Free as in Freedom

Chad Wollenberg from the Linux Basement podcast has some FOSS-oriented songs that he's written. He usually tags the end of his episodes with them.

just found a funny app on debian, it's vrms (Virtual Richard M. Stallman)
is a program that analyzes the set of currently-installed packages on a Debian-based system, and reports all of the packages from the non-free tree which are currently installed.
here is the output from my system:

Code: Select all

vrms 
                Non-free packages installed on box

firmware-linux            Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kerne
povray                    Persistence of vision raytracer (3D renderer)
rar                       Archiver for .rar files
unrar                     Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)

                 Contrib packages installed on box

flashplugin-nonfree       Adobe Flash Player - browser plugin

  4 non-free packages, 0.3% of 1568 installed packages.
  1 contrib packages, 0.1% of 1568 installed packages.
