that is really weird! I've done four installs of
mandrake 8 so far and they have all been subtely
different. I did a "recommended" install on my
brothers machine and it yielded a system that was
windows for all intents and purposes.
I'm not sure of the exact numbers as far as size/bit
rate goes between mp3 and ogg but if you look at
http://www.vorbis.com I bet you can find that info.
What I do know is that every mp3 I've ever heard
sounded hollow to me like all the midrange had been
scooped out. Ogg's sound full and rich and the
highest quality gives small enough files that I don't
have to trade off between free space on disk and sound
quality.

Jesus saves.
Allah forgives,
Cthulu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich.
