Beryl's already in Ubuntu - but yeah, Ubuntu (and other Linuxes) are pretty good for free.

Yup, found that out last night. The thing that didn't work was the xtra drive HD didn't show all the partitions ?

I'm going to set it all backup this evening and will play around with it a little more.

Gaim, it's included in the default Ubuntu install under Applications > Internet > Gaim It's the old version of Pidgin think of it as an open source Trillian. Connects to all major IM networks.

Ubuntu's releasing a new version in about 3 weeks called Gutsy Gibbson, beta 1 was just released today and it's looking good. You can even run XP inside of Ubuntu using a virtual machine, if you've got enough RAM it runs just like if it was running nativity.

Plenty, I run XP in a VM with relative ease on 512 MB.

FTP Client: There more than a few in the repos, for small transfers I use Gnome's (Ubuntu's desktop environment) built in client. Places > Connect To Server.

For larger transfers I use gFTP or FileZilla.

Open terminal and type:

Code:
sudo aptitude install filezilla gftp
That will install both of them. To open them Applications > Internet

Also, you can ssh into your VPS right from terminal ssh [email]user@server.com[/email]

I've been running Ubuntu on and off full time since Oct 05. It's an awesome OS.

As for installing VM Server there's instructions on Ubuntu:Feisty -
