</div>Everything but iTunes, apparently. I have a family member who would<br>
get very excited if she could interface Linux with her incredibly<br>
closed and proprietary media device.<br></blockquote><div><br>heh, heh. I laid down the law about that stuff at my house. I won't pay for the hardware or the software and I won't provide support for it at all. If it takes an IP address it will require extensive chores each week to keep the address available (IPv4 is running low - right?).<br>
<br>To date: Only 1 ipod as a gift that now just uses mp3 files from a Linux system since itunes on a friends machine kept deleting everything. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
