You guys should study up on a few subjects and learn that because continuum is copied and edited it has to give it's source and edits in public. _________________ SOMEONE ATE MY PASSWORD |

Heh.
You should see the kind of physics we have.
I think it's much more intense. |

Typing from a Ubuntu Dapper setup here:
mplayer didn't work (playback was broken on my computer until I compiled from source)
azureus didn't work (version that came with dapper is broken, cvs version is good)
nvidia drivers still don't work well (they work, but to enable tv out or dual screen or just to set your default resolution you have to muck around in xorg.conf (and my gdm is still broken wrt to resolution!))
wine didn't work (need to move/remove winearts.drv.so which was crashing winecfg when clicking on audio tab)
totem / rhythmbox (defaults on dapper) are pretty worthless compared to media player classic / foobar2000, but that might be a bit subjective. mplayer is very functional, but it's marred by a terrible interface.
(edit: actually, i take back what i said about totem. it's almost fine for playing videos, except it doesn't do as many codecs as mplayer because of whatever legal issues)
I haven't found a good music player yet, so if you can give me some recommendations, that'd be nice. (suggestions for xmms, bmp, juk, and amarok will be ignored. specifically, i'm looking for something that doesn't "manage my music library", that doesn't have some terrible gtk1 ui, and that supports generic metadata editting/masstagging (like foobar does))
Of course, I typed that just to spite you, and not because I'm particularly fond of Windows. I don't agree that installing programs on Windows is much more difficult than on most Linux/BSD distros (...are we talking user apps where you click on a .exe and press ok a few times?), but I'll agree that having a central repository is more convenient than googling for everything, as long as what you're looking for is packaged.

What distro did you even attempt? Installing programs on Windows is actually much more difficult than most Linux/BSD distros have been in the past three years. Hell, you don't even need to know what program you want, you can search for descriptions, browse the list, and install almost everything you want without a much of a hassle at all.
Since it sounds like you are anti-non-microsoft, I'd recommend giving the easiest and most user friendly of all the big name distros a try, Ubuntu. And if Gnome/KDE isn't what you like, Xfce is great if you spend the ten minutes getting used to it. |
