I'm personally a big fan of Linux Mint. It builds off of Ubuntu, but it comes already setup with a number of proprietary items that other distros don't want to include, such as flash , mp3 and NVidia support. It has the familiar Windows-like setup you mentioned and it's easy to maintain with the mint-update tool, which lets the user know when there are updates to install. (I know other distros have similar utilities, but Mint's never seemed to break anything on an update.) It also has a number of other mint-* tools that make maintenance very easy and gives it a nice polish even over Ubuntu.
I was having the same problem with Jamendo, and then realized that my issue was that I had flashblock or adblock turned on and it surpressed the embedded player in the side bar. Once I allowed that through and allowed it to load fully, then clicking the play button next to a song or album brought up the mini-window embedded player and it worked fine.
I just hope they don't use it near any pools.
My experience if you work with IT you can get a lot of what you need without hassle.
Really? I wish IT at my job worked like that. At my job, if you ask IT for something, then they know what to restrict next.
What about using the offline sync option with Google Gears? That way if the online service is down, you still at least have access to your files. I don't know if it will do that with PDFs, or if there is any sort of limit on how many files it keeps synced at a time, but it's just a thought.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
