In my experience Samba has really crappy performance.
Using 100 Mbps ethernet the transfer rate is ~4.5 MB/s with Samba and ~11 MB/s with NFS.
There are also the weird cases when transfer rate drops to ~200 kB/s with Samba. I've only seen that happen when transferring between Windows and Samba though. Between two Samba boxes the performance seems to be consistent.

LOL. I guess most of us have been using PPC CPUs all along and not even realize it.

Have you raised these issues on the ALSA mailing list(s)? For example if I'm not totally mistaken OSS emulation would be possible with the latest beta/cvs drivers using a LD_PRELOAD hack.
The DRI guys made a shared memory transport system for X, but the results weren't that good. There were small performance gains in most areas they tested (and small drops too).
Finally they decided that the added complexity wasn't really necessary as the gains were so tiny.
You can still get the code from their CVS but it's really outdated.
There once was a descriptive document about this on their website but it has since dissappered.
I don't believe Nokia's batteries are really better than Ericsson's. What makes Nokia phones so nice is their power saving capabilities. If you just leave the phone turned on and don't use it at all the batteries may last for over a week, but when you talk the battery is empty in a few hours.
The amount of swap used really isn't a good way to measure system performace. AFAIK the amount of swap reported to be used with Linux 2.4 isn't the real amount at all. It's a bit like with top reporting X to use many hundred megabytes of memory.
Sure Xine is great, but don't give the developers too much credit as they "only" developed the frontend and all the "real" work is done by software from the OMS people (mpeg2dec, ac3dec). The em8300 (h+, dxr3) support is a totally independent project and yes, it works with OMS too.
If what you're saying is true, then The Matrix is no different from Star Wars. Lucas wasn't sure if the film would be a success and so he made the first (fourth) part to be independet just like The Matrix.
Abstraction layer sure, but I didn't see anything about the warp in there...

TV what? I have 3 A500s (1 in active entertainment use) and I've never used a TV as a display. FYI there are MONITORs for the Amiga and there are adapters for VGA MONITORs. Do you know what a MONITOR is?

If you have an Intel gfx chip a framebuffer driver does exist:

Please do this :) I'd really like to see how Microsoft would react.
OMS is designed to be used by different players. It's not really ready for that yet, but hopefully it'll keep getting better.

RedHat does it like Debian.
Actually that mouse has 6 buttons.
You should not be using headers in /usr/include/{linux,scsi,asm} when compiling a kernel module. Use the headers in the appropriate kernel source tree.
All that V2 and banshee have in common is 3dfx. I think that you are confusing V2 with V3 which could be called banshee 2.
