If you’re considering a holiday this winter to escape to warmer climes, why not try Phaic Tan? …
Anyway. Update on Linux: I now have an MP3 Player, a DVD Player, a media player (for e.g. DivX), and a Machine that goes *Ping*.
Took some doing to get working, but it’s all there! Funny thing is, I haven’t really been noticing much that I’m on Linux at the moment. I do a lot of internet stuff (websites) and Firefox comes with Fedora Core, which looks very similar to the Windows version. Also Mozilla Thunderbird (which, incidentally, I was able to transfer all the mail to without any problems at all).
Good stuff!
