Re: ubuntu
sooooo...
other than the usual "m$ iz t3h g4y!!11" ... what's a reason for using something else?
Can I still stream to the 360?
Any sort of directx emulation?
How well does windows app emulation work?
Or should I still dual boot with windows (which would pretty much negate any reason to install linux)?
Will it read my ntfs partition that's only accessible by the windows admin?

I've found ways to stream music and pictures, but not video.

Guess I'll be installing it.
Ubuntu what you recommend? Another reason I haven't got linux is because of all the ------- distributions of it. I'll mostly be using it for media and interwebs of course, what's the fastest running and easiest to use, thats teh sex with lots of features...i'm guessing you two are biased towards ubuntu

Re: ubuntu
If you install it, do it dual boot style. The latest version of ubuntu is fiesty fawn, which does a few things you had to do yourself on previous versions, like auto mounting NTFS drives. Also, ntfs drives are completley read/write now. Terminal is pretty easy, especially apt-get. It might kinda seem difficult at first but switching back to windows and fixing ---- on it gets agervating now because I'm used to be able to seeing why a program isn't functioning and not having to fight with the system to do certine things. Fiesty fawn also has an auto multiverse installer now that does flash/jre/mp3 format/most video codecs and a few other things in the repos now, its very handy compaired to what it was like to have to install all of those capabilities individualy. You might like kubuntu alittle better because you can make it look very windowsish.
Beryl can kind of be a bitch to install, but I walked buk through it so it cant be that bad :P
There's a few other distros that are nice, like fedora, but its a massive download. There might be a fedora live cd now, I'm not to up to date on that distro.
