XMMS? Why in the world would I want to slow my computer down with that junk?
Quit hiding from the discussion, that being your claim Linux is easy to use, while I continue to prove it's not, whether it be a beginner being unable to find proper install procedures, to Linux vendors themselves being unable to convert their own systems. "Linux" is all one big confusing mess. Just as Michael Dell keeps saying, for years now.

"People are always asking us to support Linux on the desktop, but the question is, 'Which Linux are you talking about?'" Dell asked.
"If we say we like Ubuntu, then people will say we picked the wrong one. If we say we like and support Ubuntu, Novell, Red Hat and Xandros, then someone would ask us, 'Why don't you support Mandriva?'
"It's not that there are too many Linux desktop distributions," Dell said, "it's that they're all different, they all have supporters and none of them can claim a majority of the market.
"If you look at DistroWatch, you'll see zillions of these distributions. Which one should we do?"
^^giant cop out^^
And why would I want to slow down my computer with games? Especially that stupid Silent Hunter 3, which apparently barely runs!

BTW,
XMMS download size = 2.3 mb.
Installed size = 7.1 mb.
What kind of craptacular turdbox are you running that XMMS would slow down so much? For heaven's sake, I've run it on a 119 Mhz Pentium in 24 mb of RAM! Maybe it's time to get a computer that doesn't run on coal, Turkey.
"Quit hiding from the discussion, that being your claim Linux is easy to use, while I continue to prove it's not.."
Wait, let me see if I get this straight...you challenged me to prove Linux was easy by showing that I could install applications from another OS. I did that, and challenged you to do the same. You failed. And you conclude that you were right all along. Hil-freakin-larious.
" "Linux" is all one big confusing mess."
Not really, except to the willfully ignorant like yourself. Congratulations on that, by the way...the streak remains unbroken.
