i'm not sure it does everything you want it to, but ive used it before and thought it was very cool (i was using it out of interest, not for real security cameras)
sound is a piece of piss in most linux disto's. Windows, however is awful if it *decides* not work. Ive had sound work on debian etch, kubuntu and iirc freebsd recently, out the box, and gentoo only required a modprobe
*yes, windows makes a concious decision not to work
I happen to think the kde gui is better than xp's too.

Im a gentoo user and i dont get those 'Starting SSHD [ok]' type messages. I have a very good looking startup, with a progress bar, telling me what its currently doing. If i want to see the 'Starting SSHD [ok] ' type messages, i press alt+F1, and it shows them with an image behind the text, configured to look just how i like.
Its very pretty, and very functional. Windows should do the same, but doesn't.
i have motorhead - ace of spades play, from the other side of the room. when i wake up, i dont know whats going on, shit myself, jump out of bed, them i'm up.
with the tv - it doesn't work like that. i bought a 'season ticket' to a uk channel 'prem plus' (they show premiership football), i dont want to watch bolton v blackburn, but its on and im paying for it.
if i didn't buy the £37 season ticket (not 30, telewest take a markup on it), i'd have to buy the games at £8 eact - if i watch 5 games this season, its been worth paying for.
thats how tv works - cheaper to ignore the crap than not pay for it (not that bolton v blackburn would be crap, i just dont have time to watch it)

because my monitor must be getting closer/further away when i press control-alt-(minus/plus), or when i use krandrtray all the time at work (webdeveloper - need to test different resolutions)

Tobacco isn't at fault, neither are the tobacco companies in my opinion. Its just the greedy bastards who want to make some quick cash that sue and the fucked up court system that lets them win.

Our webserver is a poweredge 1850 (iirc) running debian sarge AMD64. All the hardware was detected out the box, everything just worked.
As i'm posting the above, i might as well give it a plug: fone-me.com
i think it more likely does something along the lines of:
/var/log/logfile | sed -e 's/^Your Root Password Is.*$//g' > /tmp/a ; mv /tmp/a /var/log/logfile
cat
They just wanted to get away from the french. Can you blame them?
im guessing ubuntu has a alsa startup script, try restarting that. alternatively, try unloading and loading your sound module.
In linux a RAID array can contain any block devices, including network block devices, ramdisks, whatever.
(I read this in a linux software RAID tutorial once)
Thats a very proactive measure by Microsoft!

its getting replaced in kde4, probably by gstreamer
im not sure, but doesn't google talk (jabber + new audio extentions) meet that criteria?
opera's bloody fast and doesn't have huge memory requirements

devfs isn't even in the later kernels. (almost?) every distro with a modern kernel uses udev now
in 2.6 kernel's there's a setting somewhere in /proc (cant remember the exact path, i'm on a window box at the mo) called swappyness.
Its possible that debian has their swappyness set higher than the other distro (gentoo i think, i didn't rta)

my boss sells tshirts (thefurryworm.com) and he keeps getting nigerian delivery addresses for big orders, with american billing addresses.
the cc processing company doesn't care because they get paid for the transaction, and they get paid again for the refund.
you have two choices:
1: emulate the dsp device to skype with arts by executing it as:
artsdsp -m skype (it might be -w, its been a while)
2: disable arts and set knotify to use madplay to output sound
