1. Average Jane will NEVER get this thing installed on a system already
containing Windows without clobbering their Windows install and losing all
their data.
How strange. Ubuntu can manage this 'feat' by default. In fact, it takes
special effort on the part of the user to take out their Windows install.
The same cannot be said for Windows or OS X--both of which will clobber
any existing installation of a different OS on the target partition.
IIRC, GNU/Linux is the only platform that has installers which will
automatically resize partitions to make room for itself. It's certainly
the only one of the big three that has installers which will
automatically include other operating systems in the bootloader
configuration.
2. Why would they want to?
"I did sync up my iPod and read the files, but since most of my music is
actually DRM protected I wasn't able to do much. It did get sync'd and I
was able to read directories which I love as well. Another plus and more
to why there are 5 Pennies for this distro on Starting."
A review of 5/5 for a supposed multimedia distribution and the guy can't
even play his DRM music from the iPod???
Only in Linux lala land would that happen.
Umm, it wouldn't play on Windows either, unless you installed iTunes. On
Linux, there are two routes the user can take to get Fairplay protected
music playing.
1) Install iTunes in Wine/CrossoverOffice
2) Remove the protection from the music.
You people are crazy if you think anyone sane would be interested in
something like this distribution.
Why? Not everyone has their iPod chock full of iTMS music. In fact, I'd
go so far as to say the majority are still playing the unencrypted music
they own on CD, or have ripped from CD.
