In search of a decent portable Ogg Vorbis player
I have recently begun to seriously think about replacing my Sansa e250R v2 with another portable player that actually has support for Ogg Vorbis.
I really like the Sansa overall because it has great battery life and does what it was designed to do rather well.

Archlinux 2008.06 “Overlord” has been released
I just realized that Arch Linux’s newest install CD was released yesterday.
If you are interested in trying this great GNU/Linux distribution, this is the perfect opportunity for you to do so.
I’ll probably download and burn a copy myself just in case I end up needing it at some point. Come to think of it, I might just install it on my sister’s computer if she feels that she is comfortable enough with GNU/Linux to move away from Ubuntu.
Changes since the last ’stable’ release:
