Depends on what you ultimately want to do with it, Daniel. I'm not looking to run a server anytime soon, so I just use the Desktop version.

Desktop would be best for dabbling.

I use 64-bit Ubuntu desktop (well right now, Linux Mint which is Ubuntu plus some extras and restricted codecs already installed) and 64-bit Windows 7 and dual boot. I find I'm stuck with a two OS solution. There are things I need Ubuntu for and things I need Windows for.

Anyone use iDVD on the Mac? I'm using one of the standard templates. I've added a long audio loop on the chapters submenu. The audio starts correctly the first time through, but when it loops around for the second and subsequent runs, it starts around three seconds into the loop. Is there any way around this? Is this because the initial three seconds are somehow tied to the initial transition to the submenu?

Hivemind question: I'm having all sorts of problems with certain sites/servers when I'm using XP. Facebook is the biggest pain in the arse but there are other sites that won't load/reload quickly. However, in their case it's not so much the site, as it trying to connect to external sites, most of which are ad sites trying to serve up advertisments. It doesn't matter what browser I use--Opera, Firefox, or IE8--and ahemming isn't affected (nor is it a cause cos it happens with or without the program running).
It should also be noted that I don't have this problem when running Ubuntu 9.04. Which is what makes it doubly frustrating.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions on where to look etc.?

That sounds kinda malware-ish.

I'd be surprised if it is Gud. I'm running Process Explorer and TCPView by Sysinternals and neither are showing anything untoward. Moreover, I did a complete XP reinstall to try and fix the problem (to no avail, obviously), and I haven't reinstalled many programs since doing it, so I can't imagine where the malware has come from, or where it's hiding.
eta: Oh and Yahoo Mail is another really bad site. It can take many minutes to get to the login page, more minutes to get to the mail page, and many more minutes to logout. Yet it takes seconds to do the same thing on Ubuntu.
