This morning I downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 to try out. After booting, I
would select the option to install, and it would drop me to a terminal,
with the system running off a RAM drive (ie, a live CD system). No X
server, no apps, just the built in shell commands.
After searching the forums quite a bit, it seems that some people have
solved this by updating their BIOS. Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.
Rather than trying the release candidate forrrrr 8.04, I'm now
downloaded Fedora 8. We'll see if that works better.

Yeah, I tried LFS a few years ago, but I'm really thinking I want a
supported system with proper package updates & such.

Whatever works for you is fine by me as long as it's Linux ;-)

Some people say:
Whatever works for you is fine by me as long as it's not Windows.

Well, for almost everything it *will* work. There are just two problems...
1) iTunes. I can't get it to work in any version of Wine or Crossover.
Are there other media players that can interface to the iPod?
2) SimCity 4. My wife works hard, and doesn't play many games, so I
feel bad not supporting the few that she does. I'll probably have to
keep the Windows partition around just for this.
I'm considering contributing to Wine myself, but it's not like I've got
excess amounts of free time as it is.
Other than that, I've gotten Compiz to work (sweet!), and I've spent the
last few days getting used to things in Linux again. I've compiled POV,
but I haven't gotten around to the Beta yet.

Amarok can. And, after jailbreaking and mounting manually, it can interface
iPhone/iPod touch too.
