The problem is that the HTML specs provide a way to float crap on top, and ways to pin it to the top or bottom of the page, and also a hint to the browser that indicates how much reading space is covered by the crap, so that the browser knows how far to jump per page request. Lots of websites have the floaty crap, without the hint.
I found a solution this weekend: just disable CSS. Pages are readable again, besides the catastrophic breakdown of design, but articles... man, articles are text and images again. And space/PgDown scrollable.
You should install a firewall in your router, enable the few ports you want to use from the outside, and log every other connection attempt. That way you'll have an idea how often ports are scanned daily. For me is at least 100 times per hour in a single IP, most of them trying the telnet port, because a lot of surveillance cameras and other I(di)oT stuff still use telnet.
I would also suggest to migrate servers first, and then clients. It's easier to integrate Linux against *nix than to MS servers. Think in authenticating against a ActiveDirectory or trying to use Exchange from Linux.
I would suggest kmplayer. it integrates better in knoqueror for listening/viewing streamed media online. it has nice features, like the ability to give you the url you're watchong, wich allows you to download it and see it offline if you need to.
I've been in this position, but is not always that simple. Unluckly, I'm not in that job anymore, and in that time I didn't have the need to, but to update a local repository is not that simple.
See, most enterprises that embrace Debian as its base distribution, ends up tweaking the packages here and there, specially with deployment in mind (this means, each new computer needs to be configured only the minimum, being it automatically or by hand).
The problem arises when you need to update this packages. You can maintain a set of patches, but it seems to get trickier with each new package version. Again, I didn't have the oportunity to test all this theory. So I would twist a little more this question: has anyone been in this position? what did you do? how well it went, in all these days/months/years?
lxr (http://lxr.linux.no/) was dveloped with the kernel in mind, but now it works with any C, C++, python, perl and other laguajes (those supported by exuberant-ctags). I used it in several projects and, in conjunction with tabbed browsing, I think it's all I need.
Dependencies are: mysql, perl, apache, exuberant-ctags.
Instead, I would use mine. But is not working yet. It's in a development stage. And as is my thesis, I can't release it yet. But I can tell what it'll do.
Essentially, it'll distribute the files in some machines. But any distributed filesystem does that. What's so good about mine? Well, suppose you have a lab with a NFS server and 28 clients. These 28 clients have, say, 8Gb disks, 2 of which are used to store the local instalation and the remaining 6 are unused. Doing some math, you reallize you have 168 of useless space, more than the space the server has. So, all you need to do is put a distrib fs and make use of it.
Now suppose you're one of the students using thhe lab. You sit front a 'client' and start using your files. But the files are in another machine, so the access is done thru the net. And it feels slow. Ok, all you neeed to do is to guess in what machine the files are located and use that one... or, have a distrib fs that will migrate your files to the local machine as you use them. That's what I'm after.
You can also read a draft (in spanish) here. Please be patient with the site, 'cause the uni has very saturated lines. If you want to contact me about it, use this e-mail address, as the other ones are down.
why not do a step further: make the government use open or even free software, just like france, argentina, peru and others try to do. not to mention that I'm from argentina:)

you meant Ximian Connector? it's been released under the GPL license last year. see this press release.

That's Yoda.
