Can Ubuntu be set up to run both KDE and Gnome apps on the desktop the way Fedora can? I prefer Gnome as an environment but like being able to use K3b and a few others...
Something similar happened with OS/2 in the mid-1990s. In version 3.0 IBM introduced support for 16-bit Windows apps; they could be run concurrently with OS/2 programs, in either fullscreen or "seamless" mode on the OS/2 desktop.
At the time it was considered a great technical feat by the OS/2 engineers, but it had the unhappy side-effect of undermining support for native OS/2 applications.

Check out the iRiver S10. Plays oog files like a charm. Only hitch is it doesn't recognize .m3u or .pls playlists. :(
And while we are at it, a curse on whoever uses the verb "grow" used transitively, as in "to grow a business". yuck.
