Linux Outlaws is a European Internet podcast, recorded simultaneously in Bonn, Germany and Merseyside, England, and published in Ogg Vorbis and MP3 formats. The show attempts to cover interesting news and developments and stuff that the presenters come across in their daily usage of Linux, often with a serious attitude and a humourous angle (the podcast has been described as being "very laid-back" by listeners and reviewers alike). The presenters don't claim to be gurus or experts on anything, but claim to be trying very hard to provide listeners with a good time and interesting information.

The show is presented by Fabian Scherschel and Dan Lynch. Fabian Scherschel is a university student from Bonn, Germany who works part-time as technical support for a large ISP and otherwise spends his time hacking stuff, listening to rock music or watching Firefly. He is currently running Ubuntu Hardy on his main system. Dan Lynch is a programmer, musician and full-time layabout from Merseyside, UK. He used to work for the NHS as a .NET developer before becoming an open source enthusiast. He has been committed to the open source ethos ever since. Dan is currently distribution hopping for the good of the podcast.

[edit] Production

Linux Outlaws is recorded simultaneously by the presenters in their homes. The recording process seems to involve recordings by each presenter on their own machine, as well as a backup analogue recording by Fabian.^[2]
