Good Linux podcasts/links for beginners

Question

There are quite a few out there, thats why I am asking for some recommendations. I am looking for some good linux podcasts/websites that are for beginners making the switch to using Linux as their primary OS.

I ve been encountering some basic doubts that were solved by googling, but it sure would be nice to know things in a structured fashion so that I know the generalities of the best-practices, gotchas etc and can figure out the specifics.

Answer 1

Checkout theses very good podcasts from JupiterBroadcasting :

• Linux Action Show : about new Linux stuff, interviews (Mark Shuttleworth, CrossOver's CEO, Linspire's CEO...) and more
• In Depth Look : in depth on a specific topic, like VirtualBox or security tools
• The Big Story & News Update : short podcast about news in the Linux world

They are very fun to listen, so enjoy !

Also, IBM provides good podcasts on the IBM Linux Technology Center Podcast.

You also asked for links, here's some that was useful for me :

• How to fix the most common Linux problems
• Learn 10 good UNIX usage habits
