You do run into sites like that. That is where a Virtual Machine with
Windows or X 10 would come in handy at times but I just figure I can
probably do just fine without them.
Meh - forgot it doesn't matter...
When there's a game on that is ONLY on ESPN360.com, you can forget about it...
HORRIBLY slow, no matter WHAT your bandwidth is.
I tried to watch the Miami Hurricanes game on 8/26, and it wasn't viewable.
Of course, about 30min after the game ended, you could view the replay, and
it was just fine.

Ya know, ESPN, if you're going to make a game EXCLUSIVE to espn360, get a
little more bandwidth

Anyways - this Ubuntu is pretty neat, so far.
About to try it on the dock.
And I'm still seeing about 15% more battery life under Ubuntu vs XP SP2, and
that's
on 2 different batteries, so it's not a fluke....
