This is why TiVo is doomed. Cable companies and the sat. dealer will/have created their PVR's and will not use Tivo. I know Dish Network is using Tivo, but Motorola, Panasonic, RCA and others are making their own devices. Panasonic has a DVD burner and a PVR in one unit. and RCA has a PVR/DVD player unit. The motorola unit will favered by cable companies because it can be used as a digital cable box and PVR. Tivo will have a hard time competing. Still I just bought one throught AT&T cable and will use it till TiVo dies.
I do not know what distro that you are using, but I was using Mandrake 8.2( I am now a Gentoo fan ). When I installed Mandrake, It install the DSL connection and a firewall and set up my system as a router. This was during the install. I was also able to check the settings and change them via graphical tools that Mandrake provided. I found this to be as simple as my install under windows.
If one is to look at PC Audio, why would one not look at one of the best PC Audio chips, The ICE Envy24. There are several cards based on this chip and they are supposed to be great. Digit-life has reviewed them in the Midiman and Hoontech cards as well as the terratec card. I wish that audio reviews looked at cards other than gaming cards and tried to look at real audio cards.
It is a federally funded research company that is not-for-profit. It mission is to inform the federal government on developments in technology. I does not sell software, it is a think tank to tell the government the best solutions.
I take offense to this in that I was a high school jock ( college and post college ), and
I do say some intelligent things. I usually found dweebs like you to be the real losers
There is no reason that Amazon could not go under! It has plety of competetion in barnes and noble (bn.com), and borders.com, in addition to the fact that some other new company can do there service better. I can remember when I never thought Hayes would go bankrupt but it did.
I disagree that Debian has the most packages. The debian project does keep a large number of debs on its site, but it is behind. All open source projects have rpm's for everything, and SUSE has thousands of rpm packages available for its distro.
I just hope debian gets its act togather (probably via Corel) because I like it too!!
I installed OpenLinux from the free CD Caldera was passing out at Comdex. It installed easily, and it works great. The problem I did have was when I used COAS to set up my sound card (GUS). COAS let me screw a round with the DMA ports and memory locations until I made the system unbootable. Any way, I reinstalled it and my GUS card worked fine as did Kppp and Word Perfect.
I think that COAS needs a lot of work to get it right, but it on the right track. Newbies need a distro that lets them install fast and get to work.

Do you know how big BMG and EMI are?
Do you know that are only about 5-6 record compamies of any size( BMG, Sony, TimeWarner, EMI )?
This does represent a trend and will spread from Europe to the US and the rest of the world.

I use Debian at work, and it is very good too!
