*sigh* ...
i guess either Xen it to run itunes on Windoze ..
or Windoze and VMWare to run your favorite linux distro ...
thanks then - if anyone know of any shareware or application that can
manage mp3 that would allow me to migrate my home network into linux
and bye-bye windoze and Apple for good!
