The iFP-380T is a nice MP3 player, and is easy to setup on a Windows machine. On linux, however, you must either use the aging 2.4.x kernel or recompile the 2.6.x kernel to get UMS(USB Mass Storage) support. The manager drivers can be used with the iFP driver for linux, but the interface is slow, cumbersome, and lacks a GUI. I reccomend looking into other MP3 players if you want something easy to setup and use. But if you know how to, and have the time to, compile a patched kernel, go ahead and try it. Now if you have Windows, this is the best money can buy.

This product is a pretty good midrange video card, but it's not a very wise buy for linux. It works with X.org but the performance is sometimes not up to par with the Windows equivalent. The drivers from ATI don't work on the new kernel or X.org, so I had to stick with the original. The only game that works as good as or better than on Windows is Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. America's Army has abysmally poor graphics, including but not limited to, extremly bright reflections, chalky textures and slow performance. With Unreal Tournament 2004 that speed is nowhere near that same as on Windows. I reccomend an nVidia unless you like tinkering, alot. Ok, unles you LOVE tinkering. I got this to work EVENTUALLY, but it would take too long and require too many forum searches for the average user to figure out.
