Listening to Linux

Good news in the continuing the Linux installation saga: I'm now using my Linux box as a tunes server. Well, actually, all I've done is move my mp3s onto it and am playing them through xmms.

The slightly impressive bit is that Mandrake's samba recognized the mini-drive I have plugged into a USB port on my XP laptop, so I'm now copying 10 gigabytes of MP3s over to the linux machine. Plus, Mandrake's xmms actually plays mp3's, unlike RedHat's that was scared off by patent uncertainties.
