Hi tfosorcim,Ubuntu does not support Quicktime, only because it's a proprietary format and possibly some legal issues. However, it can be gotten around using the instructions at LifeWithUnbuntu. it doesn't look easy, but the instructions are clear and most folks can get through it.Thanks for asking. .-= Clif SipeÂ´s last blog ..Clif Notes Newsletter for January 2010 =-.

[...] Create Bootable Live Linux USB Drives with UNetbootin This year for Christmas, I received a new netbook to play with. It came pre-loaded with Windows XP, so Iâ€™ve had a little vacation from Windows 7. Iâ€™ve also had to live without a CD/DVD drive, and thatâ€™s been the real challenge for me. [...]

Great article. Thanks.
Different subject: any thoughts on how to get Apple's Quicktime on Ubuntu 9.04; and on whatever distribution is used on Asus' EeePC 701? An acquaintance of mine claims it's not possible. He doesn't have a real life; he's a movies junkie AND a Microsoft Zombie (in case you hadn't guessed), and claims this is the main reason he'll never use Linux (can you say MicroSITH–MicroSoftInTheHead–boys and girls?). I'd like to show him trailers from apple.com/trailers and say "…and what excuse have you dreamed up now?".
Again: great article. Many thanks.

Thanks for the comment Ghabuntu. What's your favorite distro to take with you on the road? What size USB sticks are you using?

Yup Approved too. Really great app especially for those who need to use the pc of other people.

I specifically use it to create live usbs for testing purposes and like you said, it's yet to let me down.
