Today I managed to help a friend in getting his iPod to work with Amarok in PCLinuxOS using this guide. We were successful and he’s happily using Amarok to manage his music as well as his iPod. At the end of all I was left satisfied and suddenly something really random hit me. It just hit me, seriously. What if PCLinuxOS was taken over by Canonical?

http://ibeentoubuntu.blogspot.com –

Why Gentoo is dead :(
http://computingfunnyfacts.blogspot.com –
