Winamp 5.57 works great with wine. I had more than 3 people tell me they would not switch to Linux because it had no winamp. Don't people try things before they smack Linux around??? Just ignorent.
I am currently running Linux Mint 9 RC as my only OS. It should be available in about a week. I have a few windows games working in Mint and I must say its far better than windows.
@dupasqk Nice. I will, at some point make a "Fiddling Around Linux Mint 9" when it comes out in a week or two. I loved Mint, but there is too little compatibility with programs. Ubuntu has the most, of course.
@centerman7 SO NOT TRUE. I have many windows games like Starcraft, Serious Sam HD, Torchlight, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and many others installed and working (pretty well) on linux mint 9. I also have buisness apps working in mint 9 like Simply Accounting by Sage, Nobeltec and Ausi Explorer.
If you have an app you want tested in mint 9, just provide me with a cd-code and I'll test it.
Mint is a "Themed" version of Ubuntu, not a hacked version. It takes the nice Debian base of Ubuntu and changes the ugly brown theme to something nice, adds a myriad of useful config tools, installs codecs for audio and video playback, and just all around makes a kick-arse distro.
I like Ubuntu better then mint, Mint is a hacked version of Ubuntu Ubuntu comes up with fixes and updates that don't always work with mint. Mint is easier to use because it comes preloaded with everything so you don't have to search for coedc's ect. But its not that hard, and yo will be better off in the long run.
How do you get linux mint 10 to expand to full screen within virtualbox on Ubuntu 10.10 ?

So far, everything i have tried to get going in Mint 9 has worked without too many errors/glitches excluding this one game; Killing Floor for steam.

@politux1 No I'm afraid it's way more than that. Mint uses completely separate system packages.

@dupasqk I know, but still good apps like Chrome only work on Ubuntu (and I think one other Linux OS)

@centerman7 Nope I have chrome as my default browser. I just downloaded it from thier site for deb. Works awsome.
