The primary audience for this program are computer novices and/or former Microsoft Windows users being introduced to the Linux and Open Source world for the first time. The hosts of the show are Michael Cady, Nick Coons, and Richard "Mr. Modem" Sherman.
History[edit]

Media coverage[edit]
LXer from Linux News praised the show for its "distinctive personalities and technical expertise".[2] DesktopLinux from eWeek described the show as one that "aims to promote and teach Linux to newcomers while also providing tips to intermediate-level Linux users".[3]
