This is a podcast focused on connecting user space with the community. We invite you to join us as we explore the many things that impact you, the user. We’ll experiment with the Distros and Desktop Environments that we all love, we’ll discuss the current hardware and technology impacting our lives and we’ll also talk about the different topics affecting the community. All along the way we’ll share stories and anecdotes about our journey through the Linux User Space. Episodes drop every other Monday.

(https://web.archive.org/web/19981212030604/http://www.linuxrouter.org/) The Linux Embedded Appliance Framework, or LEAF project was started (https://web.archive.org/web/20010702160257/http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=13751) Oxygen (https://web.archive.org/web/20010702153509/http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=47922) EigerStein (https://web.archive.org/web/20011101024349/http://leaf.sourceforge.net:80/content.php?menu=9&page_id=2) The Linux Router Project was done (https://web.archive.org/web/20060421174527/http://www.linuxrouter.org/) The LEAF project was still there (https://lwn.net/Articles/37894/) August of 2005, Natanael Copa, while working (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5n_5Idlxvo) for a non-profit company on VPNs and firewalls, announced (https://web.archive.org/web/20110615024325/http://osdir.com/ml/linux.leaf.devel/2005-08/msg00039.html) a new distribution on the linux.leaf.devel mailing list. Alpine originally stood for (https://web.archive.org/web/20100508011627/http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/About) A Linux Powered Integrated Network Engine. The earlier versions are a little cloudy, but we see (https://web.archive.org/web/20081013232448/http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page) Alpine 1.4 being developed in 2006, 1.5 in 2007, Alpine 1.6 released on April 30th of 2007 and the switch to development of 1.7 in the days after. Alpine 2.0, the then development branch, first commit "added busybox" (https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/645531103b2ee8ef54d53a58eca3b52f7d3fb9ac) Alpine 1.9 (https://web.archive.org/web/20091103100326/http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Release_Notes_for_Alpine_1.9.0) - OpenRC shipped and able to install on hard disks.

Alpine 3.2 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.2.0-released.html) and included the MATE desktop. Alpine 3.3 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.3.0-released.html) with big renames of the editions that already existed. Alpine 3.4 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.4.0-released.html) with support for running within VM's, better DNS support and running on the Linux Kernel's Long Term Support release 4.4. Alpine 3.5 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.5.0-released.html) and this marks the first version to drop OpenSSL for LibreSSL. Alpine 3.6 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.6.0-released.html) with support for 64-bit PowerPC and IBM z Systems.

Alpine 3.8 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.8.0-released.html) a bit behind schedule and marks the only release of the year. Alpine 3.9 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.9.0-released.html) improved GRUB support, initial support for the newish ARMv7 and the switch back to OpenSSL. Alpine 3.10 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.10.0-released.html) with lightdm for login and display management, which shows a renewed interest in running Alpine on the desktop. Alpine 3.11 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.11.0-released.html) with Raspberry Pi 4 support, initial Gnome and KDE Plasma support and the addition of Vulkan, DXVK and the Rust programming language. Alpine 3.12 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.12.0-released.html) with support for the D programming language.

Kyle's Email - Thanks for your feedback! Some gdebi info (https://itsfoss.com/gdebi-default-ubuntu-software-center/) If you are on a KDE plasma desktop, Discover can install .deb packages too. Like gdebi, just right click on the file and select Discover to open with. General Github software download techniques. Look for a releases section and download the binary release from there. If you don't see that look for the code button and download the zip file. You can also use git (If you know how and have it installed) and just copy the git url in the code button too. So you downloaded a shell script... I try to keep it organized and place them in ~/bin You can add that to your $PATH (perhaps a bit advanced) to make it easier to call. You can give it the executable flag, (most file managers have this option). Or change mode on the command line - chmod +x FILENAME To start your script: ./FILENAME.sh While you may not understand all of the code, it is a good idea to glance at it. $BROWSER Watch Duck Duck Go Browser (https://spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-2021-review/) DuckDuckGo Search Up by 46% (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/privacy-focused-search-engine-duckduckgo-grew-by-46-percent-in-2021/) Brave Browser Protects Network-State for Added Privacy (https://brave.com/privacy-updates/14-partitioning-network-state/) Hold On, Ghostery Dawn?
