Chester Wisniewski and Ben Verschaeren gave the Microsoft Teams Preview for Linux a spin. If you work for a company that uses Microsoft 365, you probably need Teams. Until late last year, Teams was only available as a handmade Electron app or in the web browser for Linux, neither being an optimal solution. Microsoft introduced the “Preview” in October 2019 and it has been updated frequently since.

Episode 1 is complete and the format moving forward has been decided. We intend to produce the podcast bi-weekly with a catch-up on the news relevant to professional usage of Linux and occasionally intersperse deep dive episodes focused on a particular topic including reviews, tips and tricks.
In episode 1 we look into Google’s changes to ChromeOS making it easier to boot alternative operating systems, Linus Torvalds’ latest inflammatory comments, interesting ideas on using SSH to secure the world, open source making inroads in Europe, LibreOffice for Android, learning systemd and the recently disclosed Ghost vulnerability in glibc.
We look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback. You can always comment on episodes here or contact us through Twitter or in our subreddit.

Well it’s finally time to get this show on the road as it were. Welcome to the inaugural episode of our new podcast Linux at Work. In this first episode John Shier and I discuss our inspiration for creating the podcast, what we plan to cover in future episodes and how we plan to go about sharing our experiences using Linux in a professional environment.
We look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback. We have established a bit of an online presence to communicate with our listeners. You can of course comment on episodes here on the blog or contact us through Twitter or in our subreddit.
