It just plays everything! But I must get better speakers - hmm we have a few sets lurking at work in the cupboard - better ask the boss if he has plans for them.

Is that a complex way of saying if it is USB storage (if you have the right software installed) you plug it in, and and it just works?
I'm about to dive back into Instant messaging, under Gnome this time. I'm trying gnome-gaim first but any other must haves?

Java works pretty much perfectly if you don't insist on free software, although I noticed the SUN JRE seems a tad heavyweight on Redhat.
Most Java works with the free software plug-ins, but they can be a pain to install STILL (!!!).
Flash - hmm - under "Debian testing" Free software only Flash is very limited.
Lynx on the other hand works a treat, I used Lynx today to visit the itv.com site because their advertising server was broke, and it was easier than fiddling around in Mozilla to switch of images. Must install the web developer plug-in on that box. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
