Welcome to episode 2 of the GOL podcast. Appearing today is Cheeseness, Kallestofeles, and madmachinations. Sadly darkone778 could not be with us this time but hopefully he will reappear for the next episode.

Even Debian with its tentatively updated packages has surpassed the official system requirements for fglrx.
