Now that I’ve flashed the iRiver, and can mount it under Linux, I’ve produced my first all-linux podcast.

I went through all my normal steps, but instead of doing it them on my XP laptop, I did them on my Ubuntu desktop. Took a little configuring, but I was able to get all the sound settings correct, and was able to setup Audacity the same way I have it in XP. Also, my perl script for converting wav to MP3 with lame was almost a direct drag and drop from windows to linux. I also installed the linux version of ipodder, and was able to test the podcast feed.
