I had a compatability and reliability problem with a Dlink 802.11g router I bought when used with other manufacturer's WiFi equipment - seems most of their wireless gear suffers from this, from what I've read.
Actually, bash does have a copy and paste. Lookup 'readline' in the bash manual. This isn't useful between multiple virtual terminals, for that use 'screen' instead.
UDF is the Universal Disk Format. Although generally used for DVD+-RW disks, it can be used for harddisks too. All the modern operating systems support it, including Microsoft Windows (apparently since win95b).
Hardware or software raid? If software (which I doubt on that hardware), you should use the striping support built into the linux kernel instead by equaling the priorities on the swap partitions.
Terminal services, unlike VNC (on Windows), allows the system to have multiple users logged in at the same time (and no, I don't mean fast-user switching).
Instead of using VNC, he could just stick with the Remote Desktop Sharing of WindowsXP which is a lot better than VNC.
You might not want to admit it, but Window's remote desktop is really great. It is much faster, uses client-specified resolutions and bit-depths, and forwards audio. Oh, and you can access it from Windows, Unix/Linux, and MacOS clients.
Use this X-10 module to interface to the computer easily. You could roll your own at a lower cost, but this is really easy off-the-shelf method.
For the interface, you could have it fire up an mpeg/divx player, run a flash-based presentation, or run an Impress slideshow. All of the above should work on Windows, MacOS, *BSD, or Linux equally.
You might find the best X-10 software for Linux and *BSD, however.
Many are also feature requests, rather than actual "bugs". In this case, it isn't a critical bug waiting to be repaired, it is just a note someone made of their itch - hoping there is something with the knowledge and will to scratch it.
There is no need to have a separate swap partition per disk; however, some operating systems (Linux and FreeBSD) can do raid-like striping across the swap partitions for additional performance.
> Replace the floppy icon with a little piggy bank.
Great idea, but it wouldn't work culturally.. not everyone in the world has seen a piggy bank.
> Replace the floppy icon with a pen.
Not too bad of an idea and I've seen this used successfully in some programs. The only thing I have against this is that it might unintentionally create bias towards right-handed users. That is, most users are right-handed, so the icon would have a pen held in a right-handed position. Although most left-handed people may be ok with this, some might be upset.
Computers have gotten too "right-handed", it would be a shame to standardize something symbolizing that. When was the last time someone told you to left-click to bring up a context menu?
In regard to the closing bracket - welcome to Python. It really has increased my efficiently, not only stopping my need to type them, but to move/modify/format/etc. Brackets just take up time.

As another has said.. VPN.
I have my WAP plugged into a VPN box. Wireless users must connect to the VPN to enter my network, this gains both authentication and encryption.
You can run your SMTP server on multiple ports. 25 for incoming email and for people who can connect to it.. and 2525 (or something) for remote SMTP.
It isn't less readable, especially to those coming from other scripting/programming languages.
Plus 'while read' doesn't spawn another process, it all stays within the builtins of the shell.

You might want to try asking the guys at Audio Lunchbox if they've tried signing Warp.. might as well contact Warp as well.
:)
I suggest AL because they sign a lot of independent labels, like Warp.
Audio Lunchbox is cheap, good, and provides DRM-free OGGS
Or with debian:
./DeDRMS.exe
apt-get install mono binfmt-support
mcs DeDRMS.cs
It uses Windows Media player libraries, nice troll though.
Switch to IMAP for your email or use a web-based client.

remote desktop control is not about transfering files, if you wish to do that .. use ftp, http, scp, or other protocols.
FUD. You can do anything to a samba share that you can do on a share hosted by a Windows box.
I love my model:m too, but I am aware the day will come that I will need a ps/2->usb adapter or find a usb keyboard (like this one)
There is also a 180-day evaluation of Windows 2003 Server. You have to reinstall every 180 days but you have to do that anyway.

I think it is more important to learn how NOT to use an IDE. IDEs are a programmer's bane.
Learn how to function without an IDE first.

How about a "home" button. Click it, and it brings up your preferred file manager. You can then drag and drop the document where you wish to save it.

There is some conjure about the subject.
