    So far I've tried Ubuntu (my favourite), Fedora, Novell SUSE, RedHat, YellowDog (used on the PlayStation3), Knoppix and some little USB distributions. They're all pretty cool to use and easy enough - if you can use Windows or a Mac, you can pick up Linux basics in a few days.

    Linux (most) are free to download, share and use and come with all open-source (code is redistributable and modifiable by anyone on apps like Firefox, OpenOffice etc). Remember it's an entire operating system like Windows or Mac, so it's something totally different.

  6. Ever since the original Oakley Thump was released a few years ago, we've seen the design move closer towards a look that completely integrates their Thump technology into a design that looks just like a pair of your favorite Oakley shades. Split Thump inches closer to that goal with a design that features removable headphones and buttons which are cleverly integrated into the Oakley "O" logo. Split Thump also features MP3/WMA/AAC compatibility, 8 hours of battery life, and will be available in 512MB to 2GB storage sizes. [$250-$400]

    When you download videos from here (Asso's posts for example) or Spiral's blog, they're nearly all in Avi format. How do I get them so I can watch them (and please bear in mind I'm on a Mac)?

    Any help would be great?
