There was a NY Times article on 3/21 describing how manufacturers will be modifying SUVs over the next couple of years to make them do less damage to cars they collide with. This was evidently a sea change in how the manufacturers were responding to the accumulated tragedies like Jason's.
Unfortunately the kinds of changes the article describes are difficult or impossible to retrofit to the vehicles on the road already. For example, SUV's tend not to have crumple zones so they transmit the full force of impact to the other vehicle.
You forgot to mention that there is a version of the free MrSid viewer for Linux. My whole State's [NY] recent aerial photos are being distributed in this format.
WindowMaker and AfterStep are provided in 5.2. Either is easy to specify as the default window manager. For wmaker, there are a few themes and styles provided and the initial popup menus refer to most RH admin utilities.
