mediageek··on Pandora: Giant of Internet Radio Nears Its 'Last Stand'
Its sad to hear this news. I guess the music industry is not acknowledging the fact that pandora is infact helping them make money.
mediageek··on Ask HN: Web server development platform, Red Hat or Ubuntu
I installed redhat 5.2 enterprise version on my laptop. Looks really good. I have not started any serious work yet. I had lot of issues with sound card drivers and my USB with earlier versions of redhat( rhel 3). This one was piece of cake. It recognized my plantronics and the sound worked without a glitch.

Actually i bought a desktop with quad core and 6GB RAM. This should be a good candidate for server. Let me ask a simple question, is virtual box a free ware or i need to buy the software?. Also, iam planning to install CVS and mail server on the same box.
mediageek··on Ask HN: Web server development platform, Red Hat or Ubuntu
Thanks. This is something my friend also suggested. We want to get started quickly and the amount of time we have is minimal. The only concern I had was if ubuntu can be used as a server platform. Most of the review talks about ubuntu being a desktop OS. Can I use ubuntu for a server grade system?
mediageek··on Ask HN: Web server development platform, Red Hat or Ubuntu
Thanks for the info. I thought ubuntu is built on debian. Also, redhat and ubuntu are the two linux versions that are being most widely used. So far, i have never tried debian, Let me try this time.

The site is pretty slick. Though, I have to admit that there are many sites that do pretty much what you have done. Nevertheless, I guess it’s a huge market and there is room for many players. Question to agentbleu( I have used myplaylist.biz, interesting!) • How do u monetize such service- Google ads? • How do handle the legal issues with music companies. This scares the shit out of me. I was reading about Michael legal issues with music comp and how they were targeting his car, house and everything. • Though u don’t store any music files, why would legal folks come after you
