Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

My First Linux Installation[Warning: Geek Moment]
I've just completed my first installation of Linux, a task I can finally check off my checklist of Things I('ve) Want(ed) To Do. In fact, I'm currently making this post in Linux. I chose the Xandros Open Circulation Edition, a free operating system based on Xandros' Standard Edition, because of its apparent easy installation. And it was--easy to install, that is--even on an ages-old 233mHz AMB K6-2 system! I half-expected a long and arduous installation, especially after hearing about notorious difficulty of some Linux distribution's installations. And to think that just yesterday I was wrestling this machine to install an old copy of Windows 95 on her! Guess she knew better... I'm going to see what this baby can do. Maybe I'll be able to use it as a Shoutcast server or a web server. At the least, I'll be able to type up a new resume since Xandros comes with a copy of OpenOffice's word processing program. I can also install a program that would enable me to use Microsoft's Office suite, but I doubt my machine would be fast enough to run that. No matter--I'm already having fun with this. In fact, I just listened to some downtempo 'net radio on this system--that's right, I was able to tune into VoyagerRadio using Linux! I heard it was possible, but I hadn't seen it until now. It didn't require any additional installations, either. One last thing. At this moment, I have Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems all running at the same time. This is a moment in history for me, and may never occur again--though somehow I doubt it. [End of Geek Moment]
