and everyone is going to kill me, but I want reaaaal itunes...not as a music player,just because I want "true" support for my ipod. Know amarok and the gang is cool, but itunes just work better with music+album art...sigh (got it working through wine but doesnt pick up my ipod all that nicely(if anyone has a tip for me regarding wine+itunes+ipod let me know)

Even on Windows iTunes isn't the best interface to interact with your iPod.
mlipod, a plugin for winamp was more intuitive and less bloatware and I'm sure there are many others.
Even more should be available for *nix

Great! I hate Flash, but that's just me! It is needed though, because so many sites use it...
I've recently learnt a nice trick to get rid of those intrusive Flash cookies that your browser won't delete automatically. I'm talking Linux and Firefox here. Not sure about "the other side/s".
Navigate into subdirectories under:
~/.macromedia/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/
~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/
~/.adobe/Flash_Player/
("~" means /home/you/, for those that don't know)
...and you'll find Flash cookies all over the place.
This is how I managed to get rid of them (and everything still works 100%).
All of those cookies will, in future, get sent to /dev/null
Nice!
