Can I directly install Itunes on Linux Mint 8?
Q. I am going to be installing Linux Mint 8 and remove Vista, Can I install Itunes on Linux Mint 8?
( Directly download apps, Buy stuff, ETC.. ) Will be using a Ipod Touch 3G 8GB.

A. iTunes is not native to Linux therefore does not work well using a windows compatability layer such as WINE

Take a look at these open source options

Rhythmbox

gtkpod (good for syncing)

Q. I have linux mint 4. I need to wipe my computer off of junk and reinstall. I also want to upgrade my hardrive and reinstall linux mint 7, and the latest ubuntu. I want to get the junk off manually, search and destroy, and then uninstall. I need that harddrive for my other computer, can you help me out? Linunx mint is the way to go by the way.

A. If you are looking to delete and format the Drive with Linux Mint 4.0 on it I recommend you use Gnome Partition Editor (GParted). For this operation you can run off any Ubuntu or Mint LiveCD as Gnome Partition Editor is included
