Thanks Brian. I'll be at the meetings.

Yea I currently use Virtualbox now on my laptop for my ubuntu vm, so that
will definitely work for the other way around. I've also read about
Songbird, but I don't know how well the iPod support is on the linux
platform right now. And I forgot about how iTunes is doing away with DRM,
with their release of iTunes Plus, so I don't think that will be as much
of a problem. Still gotta make sure I know what I am doing before I make
the switch. I think I will wait till one of the installfests.
