BOXED: Free as in GNU out now!

I am very pleased to announce the release of my CD-ROM "BOXED: Free as in GNU" which covers all the songs of my albums I produced from 1997 until 2008 in the Free Ogg-Vorbis file format, plus most of the songs in XM tracker file format.

For GNU/Linux there is a very well implemented tracker editor, called SoundTracker, which is available from your package manager. Using SoundTracker, you are able to edit my songs an make derivate works the easy way.

All my songs are published under the Creative Commons, Attrition Share alike. So nothing is stopping you from listening, editing and redistributing my work. I believe that knowledge and art should be freely accessible for anyone.

The goal of this CD-ROM is to show my support to the Free Software Foundation and especially the Play Ogg and Defective By Design campaigns.

The ISO9660 image is hosted at Slated.org.

The size of the ISO9660 image is about 700 MiB and thus requires a 700 MiB CDR(W). The direct link to the file is here.

Thanks to [H]omer for hosting BOXED: Free as in GNU, for free and Gratis!

Ubuntu Steunpunt Daalhof (Update)

I have recently joined the Dutch Ubuntu LoCo team and started the Ubuntu service site in my area. This is a volunteering afford to provide all the help, with Ubuntu, people in your area might need.

In first case, the Ubuntu websites, forums, mailing lists and IRC channels, are the right spot to get help with Ubuntu. In Belgium and the Netherlands however, if you get stuck on the usual help sources, you can contact the Ubuntu Service Site (Steunpunt) in your area. You can ask your USS for a demonstration, CD-ROM's and eventually additional help with installing and configuring Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Steunpunt Daalhof, however is not limited to the Ubuntu distribution of GNU/Linux. Since I have experience with a wide range of GNU/Linux distributions, Ubuntu Steunpunt Daalhof, will gladly provide gratis support for any GNU/Linux distribution.

I think it's a nice way to finally give something in reverse to the community, that gave us our favorite Operating System.

Update: I have created a website for USD:

Currently in Dutch only, an English version will be added soon.
