Linux

Given that I hardly use my laptop for anything else these days, I'm wondering about switching over day-to-day activity to Linux. Window managers I'll slog through myself, as I don't know what I'm looking for. Anyone use a graphical AIM client (no naim for me) that isn't gaim (which sucks) that doesn't suck? I'm very happy with Trillian on the Windows side. Similarly, I'll need a media player that can handle mpcs (the musepack website has plugins for xmms and beep - anyone have experience with either?) I'm a happy winamp user - I'd like my keyboard media buttons to work with my media program. My stereo can connect by USB, but I assume this hasn't been ported to Linux, so I'm not going to worry about this feature.

I guess I could see whether Trillian and WinAMP run acceptably with wine.

Thanks for the advice.

GAH!

I've juggled my LJ filter-thingies to have an '05 page instead of a 'college' page, which covered mostly haddon-folk. So weird to have the Swat '05ers in with the Haddonfolk and not among the rest of Swat.

Altering my AIM groupings will come next.

Wow. I have a lot of black socks. And, contrary to popular belief, or at least song, they're all dirty.
