About this episode
TuxJam explores 8 bit computing, recent Linux distros, and experiences with DietPi and FoxClone.
2 raised to the power 7 or 200 or 80 or 1000000, call it what you will but TuxJam is now officially in 8 bit territory. Once recovered from nerding out over this fact, your hosts, Kevie, Al, Andrew and Dave start the show as usual by taking in a selection of recently released distros from distrowatch . Next Kevie and Andrew relate their experiences of using DietPi which offers a slimmed down and highly customisable OS for a variety of single board computers including all Raspberry Pi models. Dave and Al then relate their experience with FoxClone which is an image backup solution written in Pascal that offers a neat FrontEnd for partclone. We then talk about feedback (we love feedback!) and upcoming things such as PodCrawl on 21st Feb, HPR Beer Garde n , Oggcamp 2026 and how you can get in touch with us (did I mention how much we love feedback?). Tunes licensed under lovely Creative Commons type licenses played in this episode were: Haydn Davies – Run Baby Run Bod – New Beginning Igor Pumphonia – New Me Richard Shekari – A Fresh Start
