a friend booted up my mac from a ubuntu cd to show me around the system, and i told it to from mac system prefs, boot drive.
now when i boot up without the cd, it gives me some command line telling me to put in the cd and press any key, instead of reverting to the mac OS, as my friend assures me happens in windows. he's never done this on a mac before.
is there some key combo i can hold down to get it to default, as i checked the menus of ubuntu and found nothing i can discern as useful to changing boot prefs.
help!
ps ubuntu looks really easy on the eye, if i could get itunes d/loading podcasts automatically, and a good mail grabber, i might switch... right now i want to work on a tune in digital performer/mac so...
any tips for good audio/midi multitrack software for ubuntu/linux?

Windows has a default driver, which means you can copy photos from the iPhone without using iTunes/iPhoto.
But you certainly can't access the rest of the file system without jailbreaking the phone. There used to be apps that allowed this, but Apple killed them.
Sync Your iPhone Wirelessly in Linux
Apple may open up its iPhone and iPod touch devices to third-party apps next month, but the chances that Linux users will get invited to the party are slim at best. That hasn't stopped some intrepid hackers from coming up with a better music-syncing solution than the one Mac and Windows users have--a two-way wireless transfer, from almost any music organizing app you like, no wait for iTunes or USB cable required. Linux users, let's take a look at how to set up your iPhone or iPod touch for any-time wireless access after the jump
