In the episode Yattarou was asked to record a song, and Mipple did Mikazuki Connection, then at the end Sukashii finally got a CD but no one bought it...his song was Adesugata Meka Cat. That is why

I could seed on the torrents again soon, or try a Rapidshare type site like Megaupload. I ripped my Eto Rangers CDs a while back. 320kbps mp3. Edit: Trying on the torrent but that isn't going too well. Might have to make something else I can link to on my site.

There seem to be three main types of GNU/Linux distributions (Linux is the kernel of the GNU's Not Unix Operating System, the free Unix replacement with the original Free Software philosophy being that the user has the freedom to view, modify and redistribute the source code of everything - that has somewhat been sidetracked and to make it more palatable to businesses it is called simply "Linux"). Source based means all software is usually compiled from source code to install it. Slackware and Gentoo fall in this first group. Berkeley Software Distribution Unix and kin are also source based. The other two use precompiled packages and manage library dependencies. Debian and Red Hat and the 'distros' based on them are examples of these two. Debian based distros use DPKG as the package manager and Red Hat based distros use RPM. With automated package management, software is usually installed by using a program which lets the user choose from packages in the repositories hosted online, downloads them and installs what is needed. The source based distros download source code of the programs users choose and compile them. Compiling can take much longer, but there are more programs available in source code form than have been made into DEB or RPM packages. The packages must fit the distro it is being installed into or there may be problems, which is why the specific repositories are kept. There seem to be more packages in the Debian based repositories. However, some very useful features are in the Red Hat based distros. Of course, there are other package formats (Pacman) but DEB and RPM have the most precompiled software. SUSE is also an RPM distro, but is more like a cousin to Red Hat, being originally based on Slackware but adopting the RPM. Mandrake 'forked' from Red Hat and and later became Mandriva. It is most known for the Mandriva Control Center which makes managing the system easier. SUSE also has something similar in the form of Yet another Setup Tool.
My first install to hard drive (I'd booted Knoppix live disc) was Fedora Core 3, back when Windows XP Professional 64-bit was coming out, in 2005. That was fun (sarcasm). Installing ATI driver was very difficult (manualy inputting monitor sync rates while in console script so no GUI) and my Japanese MP3s and videos were invisible because their filenames were in Shift_JIS. Yeeeah... I tried Ubuntu 5.10 next. Still no NTFS write support. No writing to Windows filesystems, which included my storage drive. I went back to Windows XP for a while. Now with the latest distro releases there is easier graphics driver install, auto UTF-8 conversion, and ntfs-3g that allows NTFS writing. At last, usable. Before ntfs-3g I'd have had to pass on GNU/Linux as I needed to be able to actually save files to my storage drive without rebooting and going into Windows.

Yeah, the VMware image just didn't automatically load the GUI. The real boot CD does. For people new to Unix-like OSes, I'd have to recommend PC-BSD (it's based off of FreeBSD) since it has some features that make it easier at first. It has something like the install shield, which uses PBI files you double-click on. It's a good learning OS for Unix I think. I'm not sure about drivers yet, I only tried it in a virtual machine not on real hardware. I'm thinking of trying it on an extra hard drive soon.

The voice actor for Pochirou did many cool bad guy roles. I think the voice of Kirinda was the son of another voice actor. Nyanma's did stuff for Star Trek.
