Naw, that was the test podcast. The first episode is basically the
same stories, but will sound much better due to our learning a bit
about the recording process. Stay tuned.

Of course, you can only use packages that have been built. The Toudai

Looks like GRP may have been abandoned, which may make installing a
complete system impossible. I would imagine that the public binhosts
have quite a bit of goodness, though.
