Never thought of new HD's from Seagate, Samsung etc could come with unpleasant surprises? I think the chance is pretty slim.

No I don't use Scriptno. I have disabled Javascript globally and manually enable it for sites that I trust. Not a big problem, but of course I...

If you can live without the bling stuff, LXDE + Openbox is great. Not typical "Unix-ugly" either, looks pretty nice actually and the speed.. man...
Pretty sharp setup. List looks long but the content makes sense.
Facebook - no. Twitter - yeah.
