Linux Saloon 74: Banana Pi, Did you use this Old Tech, Winmodems

This Open Mic Night was a blast. Linux Saloon newcomer, Brian, shared with us his work on compiling a Linux kernel with needed features for his Banana Pi Router board and how he is helping others in the Linux community with features they too need.

The conversation continued from there to talk in detail about the StrawPoll that Aris put together about what technology you have used at some point during your everyday life. It was quite the trip down memory lane .

If you have an suggestions for topics, be they news, distributions, applications or anything that is Linux, tech or open source related, comment below or send an email to suggestions@linuxsaloon.com
