Rhythmbox plays mp3s and comes with gnome (i.e Ubuntu). For Kubuntu, you can install it by inserting you Ubuntu CD and using the package manager to install it. . .

Chxta thanks brotherman for the piece of information bout the mp3s and all that once again thanks man. Adewale my phone uses IE the default browser and it rocks even if all others are not going you can count on my phone but sad enough i cannot make it to work with my system sad man!

adewaleafolabi, use the cdc_acm module to connect your phone. It should create a device for it, i.e. /dev/ttyACM0.

I knew that the open source community can't fail me, and they never do. Sound problem solved, and an up to speed distro to the bargain.

What I did?

In my terminal, I ran: [I]gksu “update-manager -c -d”[/I]

Waited for 28 minutes while it upgraded the distro, and voila. I'm runnning Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft with crystal clear sound!

For the support I have to thank The HowTo Geek.

Before I install Ubuntu, I'd like to know if there's a way I can convert. .exe files to Linux format. I have a lot of .exe set up files (about 600 to be precise) and I can't imagine saying bye to them just like that as almost all the software I come across are in the .exe format. Also can Visual Basic 6 & .NET work on it?

Thanks, gimme d link to some sites where i can get cool stuffs, for all I care, I'm sick of Microsoft and their constant nagging and forcing me to pay heavily for viruses and bugs and crashes. Bill gates can woteva, i'm into UBUNTU! HERE I COME!!!

about the wine its best u use them for exe only cause with games it terrible

Yeah, gmaes are bad under Wine. I'd recommend running a Windows emulation. Try VMware. . .

i followed ur instruction about the connection but when i entered sudo pon celtel nothing happened

For games, I really would recommend running VMware. Same way I recommend that software to people who want to try out Linux first before switching from Window$.

To install VMware, go to www.vmware.com and download the vmware workstation. You have to register. Here are the steps:

1. Download the kernel headers via apt-get for your currently running kernel. Or find out by typing $ uname -r

2. Next you need to untar the compressed tar archive so:

$ tar zxf Vmware-workstation

3. Once that has completed:

$ cd vmware-distrib/

4. Next run the installer:

$ ./vmware-install.pl

5. Answer the questions and proceed, eventually it will ask you if you have a C++ compiler so before run the installer be sure that you have gcc installed, so it can compile the modules for your system.
Now the installation should have completed, to start vmware type in vmware at a shell prompt. Another thing you might want to do is check your email for the serial number so you can create a virtual machine, otherwise you won't have any fun with this.

@ Mimoh & Co.

Thanks all for ur input, meanwhile,

Can you guarantee that macromedia suite (incl coldfusion & Co) will work on Ubuntu? what about MS Office, any support for it?

@christino
