i can rip, burn and mix on my linux server. the games that come with most distros are better then the ones with xp. one thing better then linux is xp media center. now, if there is a linux alternitive to media center, please tell me and i will, in a nice way, destroy media center. i only use windows for my laptop cause it has wireless and i cant get linux drivers for my card, my pc cause i play games a lot and its with linux on my server because i am developing AsCP, a cpanel anternitive for windows and linux.
