and with Ubuntu, you can be as geeky or not as you like.[/b]
Yeah, that's definitely a plus
Anyway, I forgot to add--
One thing that I appreciate Windows for--mp3s. Linux can play 'em, but you have to install the software separately, it doesn't have native support. This is because Linux is based entirely on open source, and for some reason they couldn't bundle the mp3 software with Linux. It has support for other audio compression codecs--but by default, no software to convert mp3s to those codecs.
So blurgh.
I installed the software to let me play 'em, and it works quite nicely--you can even preview mp3s just by mousing over the file, which you can't do in Windows. But the fact that it's not supported out-of-the-box is kind of a bummer.
And the audio players in general are a little...well, cruddy. Of course, I'm a bit picky when it comes to audio players. Well, Songbird 1.0's should be out soon, and while I'm not a big fan of the program so far, it seems to be one of the better options out there.
