I can't believe a forum full of headphone nerds/geeks has not a single suggestion on a multimedia device for home entertainment.

I have not been impressed or satisfied with the programming line ups from my local cable company.  I enjoy shows that I watch/download from the internet more than what I can get locally.   Therefore I am looking for a device that can   1. Playback media files   or   2. Stream...

I think that it's common knowledge the leader in terms of optics for sunglasses would be Maui Jim. Then there are also other contenders that come close such as Revo and Serengeti. There are also companies like Costa DelMar and Ruddy Project that are highly regarded by those who own it but they...

Oh I will only be using this to do simple tasks like OpenOffice and surf the web. I want to make use of the laptop again.

I have an older laptop I want to use Linux on because XP is too slow for it. It's an old IBM thinkpad with PIII 677 (I think it's 667) and 128MB only. What is the easiest distro to use with the best driver support for older hardware?
