Guys, Lets face the linux World. It is isn't the old rebarbative Unix world that we one been used to. But debian, is my love, i used it for the last 4 years, on all machines, considering it is the only linux distro that i have seen installing with 8 Megs ram ( maybe Slack could too ? ), and non bloated at all.
Lets take a look in newer linux, like RH, Suse and Mandrake. Try them ? i do. After a common install, i have myself bloated with wizards, servers of all sorts, 4 different configurations tools for the same thing, in which they anyway don't archieve much, and kernel ultra 'housed patched' that no one can recompile without having the original 'Vendor' patches, which are not that advertised, check out RH and mdk sites, and try to find out which they are ! It is supposed to be newbie orientated, but it is 'all inclusive never recompile' stuff, similar to what win32 delivers anyhow.
Ya got to learn *nix to use it properly, nowaydays anybody installs it in 6 clicks, and doing linux and bsd support on IRC, i am just fed up going around special vendors installs. Lets keep the freedom, and the non bloated. So i am sad, i thought the installer of debian isn't easy but once again, i don't believe a newbie should start with debian, and the installer isn't a problem, once used to it. Will try it now in Vmware.
Well Ogg Vorbis it is but shame the dynamic bit rate encoding of Ogg. 256 Bits encoding on mp3s was cool, heavy but good quality if ripped from ced at that bit rate. Shame. Maybe it is time to code an even better algorythm, and stick a nice GPL on it !;)
