From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/

You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don't think people are making HD winamp skins these days...

That was one of the big selling points of Audacious (and XMMS back in the day) - Winamp skin support.

Nice. I assume it make sense, because the skins are all the same, just different styling for colors and images. Good to know (for future recommendations).
