Now, I'm having to see what I can use to be able to view the WMV and the WVA files that my friends and family send to me from their Windows. Was told something about VLC. Going to have to check that out. You know how you can get free leagal MP3 downloads from Cnet music downloads? Is there something that you can use to be able to get those in Ubuntu 8.04?
Just wanting to know because they do have some great music for free on that site.
As you can see I'm wanting to go as much open source as possible and try to get away from the proprietary stuff. So, I'm constantly learning something new all the time from everyone.
I really want to thank you guys for the help and support you have given me when I was trying to decide about Linux OS. I was so worried about messing up my system at first but it really went very smoothly.
Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

Also while my mind is wondering around, I did see where some people say not to worry about setting up a firewall of any kind or AV but then others say to. Someone also said I should get a router hooked up to my modem to help out. If I do that will I have to do anything to get it going? Or, do I just hook it up and will be able to use with Linux or Windows with no problem.
Again thanks for all of your help.
Tom
