Andrew (aka mcnalu), Dave (aka thelovebug) and Kevie return after summers that were cold, hot and just right, respectively. They start off with the usual roundup of new releases on distrowatch and then look at the linux distro Xebian, and even try to pronounce it properly. Those who like complex data wrangling may be interested in our look at the GUI database management software DBeaver (community edition), but if you prefer to browse through your snaps then perhaps Simple Gallery might be of more interest.

Along with the usual mix of Creative Commons music:

• FiniteMusicForge – Groovy Surf Rock
• Craig McMorrow – These Times
• BeardMusicStock – Ready To Go
• Roy Smiles – Angel Of The North (Ballad Version)
• Bayramli_Sounds – Morning Sunrise
