Don't forget bands like The Pixies, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Camper Van Beethoven, Eagles of Deathmetal, Guided by Voices, M.I.A., Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Kinks... I could go on and on.
Another nice feature is that they offer a free song every day that you can download, to help you find new music. Good for you, good for the bands, good for their lables, and good for eMusic.
Check out www.hellonetworks.com - they do Java-based streaming, and don't require a plugin - don't know how well it works with non-MS browsers, but may be worth checking out.
I've had experiences quite to the constrary... I've wasted entire weekends helping friends and family who've completely trashed their pc just by trying to "make a little more space." I can think of at least 5 people I know who have been through this... one is my brother... I've wasted a great deal of time with all of them. Not to mention those like my mother who tend to run into virii... These problems only happen if you have an OS which lets an novice user run in root mode. (Windoze, MacOS, BeOS, etc.) If anyone is going to use a PC at home, and they don't know what they are doing... I'd suggest finding a friend or relative who knows how to setup linux... it's worth it! As for Window Manager, KDE is great for a typical user, but for this person's grandfather, not having luck with the WIMP model, why not just have a xterm popup with a bash script menu? 1 for netscape... 2 for Wordperfect...
We run Oracle on HP-UX, (unfortunately) NT, and Linux. The Linux version, and the HP-UX version are very stable... handling quite a high amount of transactions... and running for months on end. The NT systems, quite predictably, must be rebooted on almost a weekly basis. We are planning to move all of our manufacturing data collection systems from NT to Linux in the near future.
