Get your Linux fixed. Or is that a BIOS problem? I have never observed such lockups, of course I probably have different hardware. I wouldn't buy any player which doesn't play ogg. That seems to rule out offerings from copyright mafia companies such as Apple. Why support companies that show no regard to open standards? Someone posted a list here very recently, http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/PortablePlayers plenty of choices there. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
