LIRC gives you the possibility to control your Linux box with a remote control. You can use it with applications under X-Windows, or to control an application in a pseudo-terminal. Emulated mouse support is also included. All what you need is an IR-Receiver [on serial or parallel port], available as a ready-to-run-device with remotes like the Anir Multimedia Magic Remote Control and the Irman or a device build with your own hands ;) But that's not all, experimental IR sending support is also included, this means you can send IR-Commands and control your TV, VCR ....

Intel announced on January 20 that it was planning to include a unique Processor Serial Number (PSN) in every one of its new Pentium III chips. According to Intel, the PSN will be used to identify users in electronic commerce and other net-based applications.We believe that providing a unique PSN which can be read remotely by web sites and other programs in mass-market computers would significantly damage consumer privacy.

That sucks! " Well, with the autofs automounter kernel driver in Linux, that's no longer a problem.
