Google Talk though Pidgin on Ubuntu

I realized today how much I rely on gTalk to share files and otherwise talk to people at work and my side business. It will be a must if I am to switch operating systems at the house.

Ubuntu on the nice box at the house revisted (again)

I have always at least tried it out but had to go back to xp for something. I tried out Vista because of the new media center included in Vista Ultimate, but there always seems to be a catch to get it up and running. (its a story in itself, but I buy one card and I end up needing 2 more)

Anyways, so the ubuntu is ideal because this computer is going to be a media center as well as a workstation in my bedroom.

The last excuse for going back to XP was ntfs reading/writing. This now seems to be a little more stable and only takes a few minutes to set up now..

I'm wanting to play with the java environment now that I've programmed in C# for as long as I have. I think it should be interesting. But I am going to need a test server to run things on once I start getting things going.
