healthysystem.blogspot.com — It's a Dell, with Ubuntu GNU/Linux DUDE! Quick boot-up, processing muscle, graphics like silk, configurable beyond the imagination, and over 20,000 free software packages at the fingertips with a click of the button. This is the computer that would show a new GNU/Linux user what it's all about.

Perhaps you might checkout Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, which comes with all the proprietary multimedia enhancements preloaded, check it out here:<a class="user" href="http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition-20">http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition-20</a>or here:<a class="user" href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-Ultimate-Edition-45644.shtml">http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-Ultimate-Edi ...</a>The regular Ubuntu version doesn't load the proprietary stuff by default because then it wouldn't be compliant with the GPL free software license. But, Ubuntu does have a helper application to automatically install proprietary codecs after the user confirms it.Also, it's very important to check back on GNU/Linux often(every few months), because it is so rapidly changing for the better. Whereas windows takes years to make significant improvements to the Operating System, GNU/Linux only takes months. This is where the philosophy GNU/Linux (enabling humans with technology) is able to make it the most sensible choice for an Operating System.GO GNU/Linux!!! Stop the tax!!!

@Bicep: None of that will actually solve the problem for iTunes sync'ing.One of These has to happen :A) WINE's needs full USB support and iFuse/libiphone needs to be in the repositories <a class="user" href="http://matt.colyer.name/projects/iphone-linux/index.php?title=Main_Page" rel="nofollow">http://matt.colyer.name/projects/iphone-linux/inde ...</a> . Also his full PPA <a class="user" href="https://launchpad.net/~jonabeck/+archive/ppa" rel="nofollow">https://launchpad.net/~jonabeck/+archive/ppa</a>B) Apple ports iTunes to Linux, which considering they have Windows + Mac support shouldn't be hard to accomplish.
