Exactly. Don't go with ndiswrapper. Use madwifi with an atheros based card.
I've been using my home server (FC4) as an AP. Works pretty well, even bridges OK with the rest of my wired network.
The only issue I've found is that the range of my PCI card (acting as as AP) is somewhat limited compared to the standalone routers I used to use (linksys).
I recently wrote a small MFC-based motion detecting picture+video app for my father-in-law's hotel - he set it up overlooking the front desk. I used Logitech's QuickCam SDK (I think it might have been pulled from Logitech's site in the past couple months - getting the right camera and driver for it was difficult).
What it does - Basically if a certain percentage of the picture area changes, the camera takes a bitmap snapshot, then starts recording an.avi for at least 5 seconds. Any subsequent motion resets the 5 second counter. The bitmap has a timestamp on the bottom of the image.
I'd be happy to provide the source code I wrote for the app. It probably wouldn't be too hard to write a backround script to take the output files and FTP them to your web server... Or if you have Samba configured properly, you could probably just have the app save the files directly to your Linux machine.
Cloudscape is hardly dead - it shows up prominently in Websphere Application Developer as the default embedded DB for EJB data.
It feels a lot like MS Access - simple, quick, and dirty.

As long as apache httpd and sendmail compile on 32 bit intel platforms, there's no compelling need to switch to 64 bit processors.

No, Apple does not produce the OS for their machines. BSD does that.
