Or use a distro that just works, like Debian, Happily running Debian Sid (unstable) with no dependency problems that didn't iron themselves out in a the next nights update. In Debian stable I don't think I've ever seen a dependecny issue of any sort.
Great. Guilty until proven innocent. Let's just round up people who we think might be car theifs and hold them indefinitely. What's not acceptable is punishing the innocent along with the guilty. Yes, we need to do something about child pornography, but this is not what we need to do and the judge who suspended this law realized that.
Actually, that's very similar to a project I'm working on...I don't want to go into too much detail on my project cause its no where near finished, but for the power supply all you really need is some form of _BIG_ 12v battery, on the order of maybe 10 Amp hours, and a switching voltage regulator to get 3.3v and another one to get 5v out of it. I'm building my supply for use with an AT motherboard so I don't have to worry about the 3.3v (more parts == more hassle) and also so its just controlled by a hard power switch and giving 5v to the "good power" line.
If all you really want to do is haul around your family/friends/groceries then why not get a nice station wagon? Similar cargo passenger/cargo space, lower center of gravity, higher gas mileage/lower emissions. Or isn't it cool enough? Or do you not fancy your odds of surviving a crash when you're in something that's size is on the same order of magnitude with the rest of the vehicles on the road? For what you're using your SUV for its just a (unnecessarily) raised station wagon with crappy gas mileage.
I think I'll enjoy my '82 Honda Accord a couple years longer: Seats 3 in reasonable comfort + a sub woofer behind the driver's seat, 35 mpg highway, 30 city. Tons of room for luggage if I put the cargo carrier on the roof and the bike rack on the trunk. That's right! I can add more storage space if I need it. Crazy that, huh?
SUVs are for the most part an unnecesary waste of road space and a threat to drivers of smaller cars. I can't even count on two hands the number of times I've had SUVs try and merge into my Honda on the freeway. If you really take 6 people with you every place you go, along with 2 bikes and a propane grill, crossing snow/gravel/dirt/mud on your way on a daily basis then yes an SUV might fit the bill but I highly doubt thats what you're doing. If you got an SUV so you could look cool and screw over other drivers in the event of a crash than at least be honest about it, that's all I ask.
Thanks for the reminder. I haven't checked out totem in a while since I reinstalled my system after a harddrive crash. I remember liking it but I also remember it freezing at random times and refusing to play several of the files that mplayer played no problem. Also, the fact that at that time mplayer played quicktime sorenson 3 and totem didn't was a real killer. But I'm heading over to the totem page right now to retrieve the latest source. About the screensaver thing, I'm not quite sure but I think mplayer does disable the screensaver, i just don't remember if it does it by default...Ok, found the option: Try mplayer -stop_xscreensaver movie.mov for all your screensaver free movie watching pleasure.

Slick micro-atx case: $59
Athlon and mainboard with integrated sound/video: $160
2x 250GB harddrives: $500
The Sony logo to put on it: priceless
For everything else there's a cheap x86 box.
