    There you have it,

    Now, my dad, he trusts this big company in Remond for quiet the same reasons you trust the BSD guys.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but mpeg artifact _are_ visibe.

    I have done a lot off mencoder/transcoder stuf over the years, if you know what you are looking for you can definetly see the difference between standard ananlog and DVBT (it is caled her in germany) More mbs for the stream does help, but it is not perfect.

    I also see a lot off artifact on some DVD's, so it might be just my spleen for perfect quality.

    The resolution is not the problem though, it is more things like fussy edges and blurred backfrops.

    From the webpage:
    "Is apache bound to 127.0.0.1 only?"

    This is pretty secure, but for many webhosting servers, this is not really usefull, trust me.
    Having each posible Sitevisitor build up a tunnel through SSH is not the way to go.

    For your second problem:

    try debian or derivats (ubuntu, ..)
    Software installation is easy with apt-get because it installs all dependencies automagicly.
    If you dont want to use the commandline, use a graphical frontend.

    Nuff' said.

    OK:
    http://www.kartoo.com/
    Kartoo is a flash based search engine. It dsiplays the search results graphicaly.

    Best feature is, that it connects search results with similar results. So you can drill down more and more.

    Google is great if you are pretty sure what you are looking for. (ORACLE Error 1200501, now what?)
    But if you have a problem and you don't know yet how this problem is described on the internet, you should definetly try kartoo.
    I know that google does not use "keywords" but searching google with the wrong search terms will lead you nowhere. I know a lot of people who never really find what they are looking for, because they use some absurd search queries.
    It's great for getting a few "offtrack" ideas.

    The interseting part here is that is says:

    These may be the rules on OS-X,
    as long as the software installers play by these rules nothing will be installed without the admins permission.

    _But_ if the user has admin priveliges, _any_ programm he runs can copy (or install) software anywhere on the system.
    There is defenetly a way to sneak in software without the users explicit permission.

    Under an underprileged account there is no way to do this.

    Hmmm,
    there is, ofcource a way under non-paranoid installs. but if a user can Read/Write to /home/$USER and /tmp and if the /home and /tmp
    partitions are mounted with no-execute set,
    I believe there is no way in hell to trick the user into installling software.

    (optinoal Windows Bashing: no execute on these partitions work well under linux, try this on windows....)
