Yes, I just completed a project that made PDF forms interactive for use on the Web. Very limited features in some areas (you have to hit Tab to get to the next line when filling in fields) but it paid well.
I agree it's limited in some ways, but useful for making things look the way you want AND making it interactive. In this case, the client had published a book and wanted to make some of the exhibits in it interactive; the Adobe tools have a 30-day free trial, and let you alter the PDF itself in-situ.
I actually wouldn't mind. If you've played anything like Halo online, you know that it pretty much requires all the speed it can get - and it's *extremely* annoying to be right in the middle of combat and have things get laggy, or even get kicked off the server.
My downloads don't require that kind of priority - especially if I'm DL'ing an ISO.
Have you actually read the article? They're using m0n0wall - self-contained bootable CD.
Actually this may be a good idea to implement for my brother, who's always complaining his Xbox Live sessions are interrupted by my downloads. And it so happens I have an old P166 Laptop that has 2 PCMCIA slots, and 2 NICs...

Well, it helps to look at the current SATA compat list for Linux first -- which has been pretty dismal so far (but slowly getting better):

Dude, Highlander 2 and 3 NEVER HAPPENED, got it? The only Highlander films that _truly exist_ are 1 and 4.
...And the TV show.
Eh, that's nothing. I read the article, and went BLIND from sheer DISGUST!

My Fujifilm CDRs == Taiyo Yuden media, highly recommended.
Also, before doing any data transfer (IDE drives only):
/dev/hda ' and also for hdb or whatever the 2nd drive is connected as. Enables 32-bit, DMA and interrupts.
' hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1
I commonly use " bs=1M " in DD operations.

There is only zuul.
Eh, what's so special about it? :b
--So how did you end up getting it to work? :)
--Ya know, even under all the Borg makeup... She's still hot.
Just like Alice Krige, and Rebecca Stamos.

Yeah, that's great. You're affiliated with people that chose the WORST NAME EVAR.
Heh, j/k. Kinda.

Acrobat 7.0 Professional will allow you to edit PDF files. You can also create fillable form fields, checkboxes, etc. in existing PDFs.

You can pipe DD through the "buffer" command: (slows it down a bit, but you will get a progress meter.)
/dev/hdc /dev/hdd
BEGIN copyhd-buffer
#!/bin/sh
hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1
hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1
time dd if=/dev/hdc bs=20M \
| buffer -S 50m -s 512k -p 75 \
| dd of=/dev/hdd bs=20M
Condolences.
