Well sort of. Work bought me a luverly new MacBook Pro rather than me having to shell out the cash. Now I'm using Kubuntu for the main desktop server at home and Mac OS X at work and home on the laptop. No more Windoze for me as the old laptop is now going to another family member. The MacBook Pro is storing the iTunes library on the main desktop server so the data is stored centrally and not cluttering up the work laptop. Now I can download podcasts using iTunes and have them synced to the iPod without any Microsoft software being used in the process. Excellent. And I can play all the music content off the central server using the XBox in the lounge, which is hooked up to the main stereo, using XBox Media Center (XBMC). Fantabulous.
