Update

I have never been so happy with an OS as I am with Ubuntu Linux. Mac OS X was close, but I can do ANYTHING I want, easily, with Linux. The nice thing about Open Source is that anyone can have access to any source code to make anything they want, constantly improving and adding to the library of available software. It's a bit daunting at first doing a search for MP3 Player in Synaptic and getting 45 million hits, but I've narrowed it all down to favorites now. I've got it running exactly the way that I want, and through it, I've discovered some cool new stuff to play with like last.fm and twitter (which I just set up). I can even run Photoshop CS2 (if I need to do anything beyond what I can do in Gimpshop) through Wine. Sophia is running far and beyond better than she ever has before. I've been catching up on movies either through Netflix or my massive collection that still contains a few DVDs I haven't watched yet. For the first time EVER, Sophia can run DVDs and video files in fullscreen without skipping at all. I've always had to watch stuff on her in windowed.
