Funny, I use debian as well, but I've always had issues getting mplayer to behave intelligently. It works, but I end up with this weird thing where it will refuse to fullscreen. I've managed to get to work a few times, but it's not as simple as say, just apt-get install xine-ui totem w32codecs, which seem to have intelligent defaults for controls, and handle any file I throw at it (short of real player crap). Although to be fair, if you don't grab the w32codecs deb package (it's somewhere on apt-get.org) pretty much nothing works. I think there's also something you have to run for DVDs to play properly... but I don't have a DVD player, so I can't really comment. Edward

Movie players: GXine, Totem
I'm not familiar with Totem. What is it like?
Image Viewer: Gthumb for small amounts, CompuPic for large amounts
I trialed CompuPic once. Has it improved lately? If I remember rightly it wasn't free or OpenSource. Is this still the case?
Window Manager: Metacity?? The one built in to Gnome 2.2 works well enough for my needs
Metacity is a nice clean quick WM. It does lack a few features I miss a little from Sawmill/Sawfish.

Very nice. If you're in Gnome2 anyway.
It's essentially a front end to Xine (although to be fair/truthful, what most people call xine, is xine-ui, which is just the default front end that they produced.) It does away with the 95% of options the most people never use, and leaves you with a simple gnome interface. If you have a GTK2 theme in place, it uses that too. It also (the key thing that converted me over) has the ability to play files from the samba without mounting the remote share (I think this is done through gnome-vfs?). This is cool, especially if you have movie/TV series leeching flatmates. ;)
Re Metacity: I understand the author of metacity (and indeed, one of the ideas behind GNOME) believes in intelligent defaults. For those who want to fiddle, there's always sawfish and KDE. ;)

The problem I have with mplayer at the moment is with some windows media playing the sound lagged by about 2 seconds. I can watch the videos but the sound is out of sync. Ah well, at least it kinda works. :)

Another app/server I've started using is TeamSpeak. It is really good voice chat server for use when playing Battlefield 1942 (or other online games). You could also use it for conference calls I guess. It's not OpenSource unfortunately. But it is available as Windows & Linux client/server. It's written in Kylix/Delphi so it has a QT GUI and the server is admin'd via HTTP. It uses a number of different codecs. Including the OpenSource Speex codec which seems to be the best at low bandwidths.

Pike is an interesting language. Didn't it grow out of LPC (used to create MudOS + Nightmare MUDlib)?

i have had this problem when the cpu-load is to high. try shutting everything else down and see if that helps. (and watch top)

jupp. pike is a reimplementation from scratch. among the advantages pike does not need to adhere to the non-commercial licence of lpc.

I haven't worried about virus scanning, although I suppose I should at some stage. Haven't really thought it necessary as I don't access any email in Windows unless it's via a webmail interface. I should also add IlohaMail and cyrus imapd to that list.

I guess so. It's a version you can download from their website, and it installs and you can create tables etc with no restrictions that I can see. Of course, if support is needed, then you'd have to shell out the big bucks for support. I decided to play with Oracle as we use that as our database backend at work, and I'm writing perl scripts that put data into, and retrieve data from and oracle database.
