Indeed. As for the Linux players, I always preferred XMMS anyway, since I
loathe KDE. As for a replacement for WMP I like Quintessential Player.
Stable as hell, and uses less resources than WMP and Winamp.

And what is bad about it? Why would you prefer to use a stagnant OS that
isn't being developed and improved?

The same exact window manager it has been using since day frigging one:
Gnome.

First off, I was answering dennis' question. I'm aware you only had a P3.
=)

Secondly, download speed has VERY little do to with the OS now doesn't
it? I mean, do you go blame vista if a website has a slow download speed?
If you blame Ubuntu in such a case, you need to blame Vista too..else
you're being a hypocrite.

Or, you might just realize that your download speed has exceedingly
little to do with the OS you're using and pretty much everything to do
with your internet connection, server you are connecting to and routers
that are in between.

So if you are experiencing slow downloads via your 8mpbs connection, you
could have simply changed the server you're downloading updates from to a
less busy one. Yes, it's possible and you don't even need a command line
to do it!

The guy's a troll and a blithering idiot trying to promote WINXP over
Ubuntu. Don't waste your time on him.
