I think, it is the best digital device of the year 2007. I hope, I can buy it soon.
Ahem. Because the Mac Pro notebook is popular, Linux is popular? Only if your Mac comes with Linux installed. (Hey, that’s not a bad idea… I might partition the hard disk and install Ubuntu just for the hell of it.)
John. You should upgrade your Mac to system X! It’s really cool. It runs on a *nix system that I’m sure neither you nor I could ever distinguish from Linux in any meaningful way.You should do something about that cough, by the way…
Now, if Adobe would add a Linux version of the Flash Player, everyone would be happy in my household. Maybe these sales data will get them to get a move-on.The only fix that I have been able to find is to download the windows version of Firefox, along with all of the plug-ins and run Firefox through WiNe. Too much work for a couple of online games.
Mike: If you are using an X86 computer, just go here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flashand follow the instructions to have flash.I had automtix install all this for me, I think (don’t remember). Anyway, flash is working fine for me, no crossover.
