Summary: Tim and Roy speak about some recent news and discuss the world of GNU/Linux gaming

TODAY'S show was covering games for GNU/Linux and to some degree phones running Linux as well. We left our discussion about trolls and lobbying to tomorrow's show and OpenBytes will have published the show notes by then (it's late now in the UK).

RSS 64x64Today's show ends with "Paper Gown" by Caroline Herring (from SXSW 2009 Showcasing Artists). We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed.
