dysfirkin writes "Mandriva 2006 is to be the first Linux distro to offer built in online music service. The service will compete with the likes of emusic.com for the music business of Linux users. I have not used Mindawn before, but the service is offered in Ogg Vorbis and FLAC."

What nifty freebies will Mindawn be giving away to the lucky recipient of their billionth download? Tickets for the 2050 World Cup final!

This is a revolting development - they're obviously subversives trying to torpedo Slashot.

A (maybe) non-DRM music system;
A non-Apple music system;
A non-MS music system;
A music system that supports Ogg and FLAC.

Nothing left to talk about. *sniff* Cue crickets.
