Duno, but its a big learning curve. Took me 2 days to get music to play, mostly cuz I was trying to find an install. Not real happy with the program im usin. No library, just a playlist...
rhythmbox is my favorite music player. It comes with ubuntu, but I'm sure you could install it on other distros.

Autodetection

I have my itunes library on my network shared linux box folder "Music",

I've set itunes to auto add music i add to iTunes to that folder.

Rhythmbox auto detects when itunes adds shit and it's all saweeeet

I hate how technical uni promotes Linux all the time. Mainly because it is free (yes you cheap fuckers), and pretty much force using Linux for most school related work.

Thankfully I can do most from windows PCs via SSH, but still... They pretty much never even mention windows which I find very odd as it is at least as major part of the industry as Linux.

into the nautilus address bar

oh right, Xfce doesn't use nautilus as the default file browser.

i.e. enter it into the file manager

I was wondering if anyone knew what was causing this problem;

I wacked a secondary display onto my laptop with a vga cable. It couldn't be recognised, so I googled a big, and found this command

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

It restarted my laptop (I think) and up popped my login menu on the second display and I logged it. Desktop popped up on both displays, but disappeared on the second display shortly after popping up.

What drives are you running? Open source or proprietary drivers?
