    The free AV (resource-hog Avast) was the last to go.

    I've also repeatedly come across videos that it has no support for. In the end, if MPC-HC + KliteMega can't open it, I just go for MPlayer. (which almost never fails, but has an even worse UI. Or rather, it has no UI; it's just a box with the video playing in it. :x

    i would like to point you to a very complete qt/cross-platform MPlayer front-end http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/ its MPlayer build is also the most
    complete i've ever seen on windows

    Last time I dug through the man pages for ssh, I remember that it was a long slog to get information I wanted. Is there anyone here who knows where to look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for this kind of stuff, and who can suggest what parameters to look at or fiddle with?

    i don't know if it is exactly what you want but most users use fail2ban or denyhosts

    It wouldn't exactly take a lot of effort to implement bash under *BSD (if it hasn't already been done, cue the reply with the package link), but it's still hardly appropriate to accuse the majority of Linux users of some sort of ignorance because their OS tasks generally don't involve using the CLI.

    i've never claimed linux users are ignorant i'm just stating that most linux (CLI) users are happy with bash
    and don't need it changed and when they do need it changed they either edit the passwd directly (i did that but it was very inconvient - combination of vi and not vim and qwerty keyboard layout)
