So... while Sly was posting about his awesome news, I had a lil' glitch: basically, I ended up with a virus that resulted in a couple important windoze files going walkabout.
Did you know that dll files are necessary? For things like windoze running, and suchlike? Woulda thunk it?
So... scramble for the last week or so was to find someone with a decent XP disk, so I could rebuild the machine. Of course, the closest I could find was my old Win2K disk (and several folks with Vista disks *shudder*). What IS a poor blogger to do?
Why, load Ubuntu, of course!
For the foreseeable future, I'll be banging away on a machine that has a different OS than Bill Gates' monster. And so far, THE only problem I've had with it is not being able to get iTunes set up on the damn thing (but I have hopes).
Oh... as a result of my question, I'll be giving my camera a lil' bit of a workout: once a week, I plan on posting a piece out of my safe, along with whatever personal history it has and such. We'll see how long that'll last for... ;)

Do you need actual Itunes, or just a way to get MP3's on and off your iPod? Several of the Ubuntu media players (at least in theory)have the ability to put songs on an iPod.
So I've read. Guess I just got to REALLY liking the iTunes software...
That, and I've been giving serious thought to picking up an iPod Touch, to use some of the other apps with. Not sure you can load the apps, except through iTunes...
The touch can't get its own apps via wifi? I don't actually know, just that it seems like it should.
