Speaking about mp3s in Linux.. isn't xmms is separate from X libs or something? I've read this somewhere *sticks it in the to-do list for research*
I think xmms can be built without X, yes, but then why not use mpg321 or another console player.
behaving which was just what I needed along with the use of ReiserFS and a decent hdd (Maxtor 80gig 7200rpm 8mb cache).
Is Reiser safe to use now? Here, I've had some fun corruption heisenbugs with a /var on ReiserFS. I think I remember the same problem on the babylonian systems at your work before I left ;-) . I'm now running ext3 in most places. It's not brilliant, but it is fairly well fixed.
There was also some question mark about whether ReiserFS tools are free software, thanks to an unusual interpretation of the GNU GPL by their author. I'm sure searching for Reiser on debian-legal will return many messages. http://lists.debian.org/
