Every year or so I wipe the drive with a fresh XP-CD install, and need to reinstall my favorite programs, but that would be true of any OS

Really? That's funny, I cannot remember the last time I was forced to do something like that with any of my Fedora systems, or CentOS, or RHEL.

It's even funnier than that. You just upgrade to a newer release time to time without reinstalling any of your applications; while GP reinstalling same old OS over and over.

Look for getfattr and setfattr utilities. It shouldn't be difficult to script something to dump ID3 tags using id3info and import them into extended attributes using setfattr. Though I have no idea how to find a file by extended attribute.

Well, Viewsonic site says it comes with 2.2 http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/spec.htm And if the version you are getting has 2.1 on it, it looks like it will update itself to 2.2 http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/support.htm

The latest gTablet software update was released December 23, 2010 and deployed via automatic Over-the-Air update.

Until Yahoo kills the service and deletes all your data. But I'm sure they'd never kill Flickr the way they killed Yahoo Photos[...]

From the article linked by you:

However, the company is offering several options for moving your photos to alternative services. In addition to Yahoo-owned Flickr, users can automatically migrate their photos to their accounts on Photobucket, Shutterfly, Snapfish, and Kodak Gallery.

I personally didn't care about my photos there, so I didn't do anything and all my photos ended up on Flicker. What's your story?
