Linux Ubuntu Day 3
June 14th, 2006 | by Todd W |So far the recent install of Ubuntu has went well. The system is performing and I’ve used it for a few hours to work on the Blog, configure some applications and test out VIM (in conjunction with the VI book I’m working through). It is too early to form an opinion, but this is certainly going much better than previous Linux experiments.
Can anyone suggest a replacement for iTunes? I’ve purchased a number of songs and I understand iTunes doesn’t work under Linux. That doesn’t seem right. My concern here is the protected .aac files purchased through the store. MP3 players should be easy to find (and I think Ubuntu installed with a couple).
I haven’t been able to get my recently ‘unMBR’-ed Windows data disks mounted, but it is more from lack of trying than any failure with the OS. Maybe this weekend.
I’d appreciate if anyone wants to offer a list of your favorite applications and what you do with them. This is a whole new world to me, and I’d like to dig right in.
