Linux is something we have thought about, but we do not have any firm =
plans for it yet.

Hello Larry and List,
I am new to the list and have yet to purchase the book port, but=20
it is very high on my next purchase list. There are two things=20
that are holding me back at this point. The first is that there=20
is no support for the Ogg Vorbis format. Well you answered that=20
question with this post. And if it makes a difference to your=20
plans for supporting it, I know at least 5 people who would buy=20
one today if it was supported.
The second concern is the method of accessing the system. I see=20
that you support Windows XP but not Linux. I use Windows at work,=20
but have migrated soly to Linux at the house. Are there any plans=20
to make they system accessible from Linux? BTW, those 5 mentioned=20
above are also hard core linux users, and would very much=20
appreciate such an interface.
