iPod with Banshee
So, I finally decided to sell out and buy an iPod video 60GB. Of course, this posed a slight problem for me since Apple doesn't produce a Linux version of iTunes. Long story short, I spent a couple hours last night and got some Banshee packages built against Rawhide. I need to clean them up a bit before I post them to Extras, and make it work with players other than iPod as I was primarily concerned with that last night. That should be fairly easy at it just means creating a couple extra packages and then rebuilding Banshee, but I hope to have them in Extras soon.

Our Band of Merry X Hackers proudly present: Accelerated Indirect GL X, or
AIGLX for short. Read all about it, and try out the packages yourself. It's a technology preview, so YMMV, but its pretty spiffy once you get it working. Some
highlights include drop shawdowed windows and an awesome minimization effect. Credits go to Soren Sandmann-Pedersen, Adam Jackson, Kristian Hogsberg, and Kevin
Martin. Diana Fong gets credit for the animation mockup. Great work guys!
* me goes back to minimizing windows...
Update: I have been informed that the X hackers are indeed merry. Apologies for the doubt.
