Description

In this episode: There are two new major Linux-related pieces of hardware, Raspberry Pi 2 and the Ubuntu Phone. CrunchBang may yet live, and GnuPG is now well funded. We've got some great discoveries, we discuss how Free Software should be funded and there's even a Neuron to vocalise.

News:
CrunchBang Linux is no more, but it lives on as CrunchBang++. The future of GnuPG is now secure, thanks to over 220698 Euros in community donations. There's a new Raspberry Pi, and it's much faster than the old one. And Canonical has launched the long awaited Ubuntu Phone with the Bq Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, and there are rumours of a more powerful Meizu MX4 edition to come.

Finds of the Fortnight:
From our #linuxvoice IRC channel on Freenode:
This isn't really a find because it's been on the Raspberry Pi blog, but thought I'd mention it: http://www.raspberrypi.org/emulation-on-raspberry-pi-2/
You asked me to remind you about the Marmite Easter eggs...
The Playstation emulator is 'PCSX Rearmed', I've been revisiting the old Playstation games... oh dear, that makes me sound old.
There's openRA too at openra.net - an open source command and conquer game.
I discovered lstopo yesterday which can generate an .svg map of your PC's hardware from the command line.
