Free Radio Linux is an on-line and on-air radio station. The sound
transmission is a computerised reading of the entire source code used to
create the Linux Kernel, the basis of all distributions of Linux. Each
line of code is read by an automated computer voice - a speech.bot utility
built by r a d i o q u a l i a. The Linux kernel contains 4,141,432
millions lines of code. Reading the entire kernel will take an estimated
14253.43 hours, or 593.89 days. The speech.bot's output is encoded into an
audio stream, using the open source codec, Ogg Vorbis, and sent out live
on the Internet.
Kunstradio will pick up the the audio stream of Free Radio Linux through
the internet and re-broadcast it tonight from 11pm - 12pm live on air and
on line.
