The Knightcast : KC 004 " Virtual Machines." 14-11-07.
Episode 4 takes us back to the Grid series and we take a look a the power of virtual computing. Forget having rows and rows of Pc's stacked up in your bedroom to make that one and only dream-lab that only Neo of the Matrix would be able to one-up. User some sticks of ram, diskspace and processor cycles to creat your own computerised Holodeck. Computer : Begin program.
This weeks KWTV is a video snippet from this weeks podcast. Together with Bart Broeckx of the Belgian Ubuntu Forums we get a demonstration on how you can use your Ubuntu Live Cd for other things then just tinkering around. Imagine your Windows XP copy dies in the proverbial ass and leaves you devastated with no access to your data whatsoever. The great thing about NTFS partitions is that they cannot be accessed under DOS. That is also their weak point. So when trouble is afoot pull out that Ubuntu Live cd and learn how to access your data when Windows leaves you in the dark. The howto starts simple enough but knowing me I never like to leave it there. How does an explanation on using your Ubuntu as a live cd turn into a discussion whether or not to put sleazy webcam pictures on your sisters computer ? Watch and find out in the Uncut version of : Using Gutsy as a live Cd.
Today we step away from the Grid Series and go sniff around at the local Gutsy Gibbon release party in my hometown Hasselt. We talk to Bart Broeckx from the Belgium Ubuntu Forum about the brand new Gutsy Gibbon Ubuntu Linux. Whats new, whats hot and also whats so cool about joining a computerclub. An interview with Julien from the Bitmappers.be computerclub tells us why. We round up the whole thing by explaining you how to use the Gutsy Gibbon live CD as a way to resque your crashed XP installation.

The Knightcast : KC 002 " The Powerstation" 19-10-07.
In episode 2 of our "Grid" series we setup your own personal powerstation. A picture perfect hybrid of a Linux workstation and a server. Using the all new Gutsy Gibbon we cobble up our own perfect computer. At the flick of a switch you will have secure shell control, a webmin interface, an apache, mysql and PHP system and more. Be sure to check out the elaborate howto's listed in the shownotes and make the first step in "The Grid".
This week on KWTV we go into Martha Steward mode. Opening up my wifes Ibook to replace the keyboard and add a stick of Ram. Stick around to see how we debunk some Apple myths (The store is always right and there is such a thing as Apple memory) and turn KWTV into some surgical daytime soap opening up a helpless patient. " Nurse Ogawa .. Scalpel please...."
