Xunbutu is an official distro for them, so in a sense it does. But it's still not very lightweight with all the stuff they add into the system. It's hardly better than GNOME, I remember seeing some benchmarks online.
My WRT54G is $100 less than runs custom DD-WRT just fine.
If I had gigabit network cards and wireless N i might upgrade, but for a home network not doing much filesharing locally I don't see the point. I think they're just trying to capitalize on the face the code is open-source. And forcing people to pay a premium for it. The WRT310N is $70 new, has practically the same specs, and can be flashed. So what's the benefit?
I can honestly say that the system does feel a lot snappier, more responsive, and just overall a much more pleasant user experience. Everything's just a lot smoother. The kernel team is doing a pretty awesome job of speeding things up. Kudos.
I have a server at server.lu and pay for an actual "unlimited" plan. There are other dedicated hosting providers that do the same. As long as the bandwidth is for legit purposes - aka you're not hosting a warez site or torrenting everything under the sun - it really is unlimited. I can push 100mbps all month long if I wanted to, as long as the bandwidth is there.
Shared hosting plans offering this always have some sort of a caveat. Don't believe it, even 1&1's terms and conditions page has nothing about it. Either get the facts straight from the horses mouth or expect to be disappointed.
Apparently you're at a computer with internet right now, you should try using SkypeOut or another free software VoIP service to call tech support and figure out what's going on.
When utilizing something like PGP, why not have multiple levels of permissions? If a user has a password of X, he gets read access, if it's Y there's full access. If you don't have either, you can't even open the document.
I don't know if PGP supports something like this but I don't see how it could be a major failure.

Use Lubuntu, it's way more lightweight than KDE or Xubuntu. LXDE is definitely great on low-powering systems.

for social networking? Is that too much to ask for?

And for distros that don't use the root account?
