Rivendell 1.5.1 open source radio automation system

I just compiled and installed it on my desktop under the Debian "Lenny" operating system.

Rivendell has come a long way in the two years since I installed it at the World Classical Network. It's as reliable as anything on the market, and more flexible than most.

This machine is running a 64-bit OS, so it doesn't have the Y2.038k problem. All 32-bit machines running Unix-derived operating systems will cease to function properly at 10:14:07 PM (Eastern time) on Monday, January 18, 2038, when their clocks will suddenly jump to Friday, December 13, 1901. 64-bit machines like this one, however, will keep on ticking (in theory, anyway) for several hundred million years :-)

That will be long enough to show that while fads like television come and go, radio goes on :-)
