Clementine is great. Use it.
Vlc is fine for me.
I use Banshee.
The closest thing to Foobar would certainly be Deadbeef.

I looked through a couple music players last time. Deadbeef ended up breaking and couldn't sort my music properly; exaile doesn't work (from a UI viewpoint) when all your music is in a single playlist; Sonata is too simple and too small; so I decided to go with gmpc, which has been working nicely.
Recently, I've stumbled upon mp3blaster. I looked at the screenshot. Installed it. Can't stop using it! :D

Found out there is a Linux Skype beta.
My ProBook and my 37" tv doesn't want to cooperate, i can only choose 1280x720 when it can go up to 1366x768, but i can't choose it in settings. No drivers for the integrated intel chip either. Been trying to get xbmc to work, but the resolution + 2 monitors just messes everything up.
Ubuntu ofcourse.
On the XBMC forums, look up modelines. There's a guide there that should help you set up xorg.conf.
Uh yeah, i have no idea how to use xorg, nor do i know what modelines is, and i can't find that guide.
Where are programs etc. placed in Ubuntu.
And why can't I access the harddrive I installed Ubuntu on from Win7?

Windows can't read ext filesystems.
I had some files on it, some music and videos, why can't I access those? Do I have to partition it?
Oh sorry, let me find that guide for you:

Windows uses NTFS or FAT filesystems, and can't read anything else. Linux reads almost anything, it's just a limitation of the OS.
That is extremely stupid. There is nothing you can do to make Windows read the HDD with Linux on?
You can use a program like ext2explore, which will allow you to extract files from the partition; I use it with an ext4 partition with no issues.

Depends on what file system you have on the Linux partition. If it's ext2 you can try using:

WOOOT! Finally i made myself dual-boot arch-linux and windows 7, and the arch-linux was installed from VirtualBox! tomorrow i make changes on the system to fit my needs...
[QUOTE=ichiman94;27546892]the arch-linux was installed from VirtualBox![/QUOTE]
Eh?
[QUOTE=sp00ks;27538061]Where are programs etc. placed in Ubuntu.[/QUOTE]
Most of the programs are stored in /usr/bin. If you download a Linux program "pngout", and place the executable in /usr/bin, then type "pngout" into a terminal from any location the program there will be run.
[QUOTE]And why can't I access the harddrive I installed Ubuntu on from Win7?[/QUOTE]
A hard drive comes unformatted. There are many different ways to format them, which makes it usable as a typical filesystem. Some of these are:[list]
[*][b]fat32[/b] developed by Microsoft
[*][B]ntfs[/B] developed by Microsoft
[*][B]ext2[/B] developed for Linux
[*][B]ext3[/B] developed for Linux
[*][B]ext4[/B] developed for Linux
[/list]
Ext2-4 are the ones that Linux generally uses, and they're free software. So naturally Microsoft doesn't care, and does not support them at all with Windows. Linux, however, will read pretty much anything you throw at it.
You could create a Documents partition in NTFS format, then put files from both systems on there. I did that for a while, then I realized that I used Windows so rarely that I just kept everything on a Linux filesystem.

That's nothing. Back when I still used Windows the only way I could access my external harddrive (formatted with XFS) was by turning on my laptop and sharing my hard drive over samba. Transfers were slow as balls.
I never let Windows taint my awesome external drive with it's crap filesystems and overall shittiness.

Still doesn't make any sense. Did you install it in a Virtual Machine or on the physical HD?
I made a fake vmdk file with the Vmanager that allows access to the HDD, and then i used it in the virtual machine, then started installation in the virtual machine

Why.
Why not just reboot->insert CD/USB?
because i don't have any burnable cd/dvd or usb, so i could use the cd-image-file in virtualbox
