im a proud windows user
 but my adventure instinc told me i have to move to linux  i just have installed some distros in the past on my PC, but that was in the past when my audio hungry was not that big like in the present. im posting this just because im afraid to lose the advantages of having windows for encoding M4a files on linux. is just ¿could i do that on linux? how? can anybody tell me? im a little concerned about the change too because there is not a FB2k port for linux, is there any other good (like foobar) for linux?well, that is all. apologies for my english, it is not good.  thanks -------------------- sorry about my english... aprendan castellano wevones! :P

QUOTE (DonP @ Apr 11 2004, 09:03 AM) If you are considering adding a hard drive, now (when adding linux) would be a good time. That way you don't have to worry about shrinking your NTFS (windows file system) to make room on the hard drive for the linux partitions. I think most distro's don't handle ntfs shrinking well. You could use PartitionMagic to shrink your NTFS partition which usually works fine. Though John33 would have a differing opinion about PM
