Linux "Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

Why don't you give konqueror a try for ftp?

About mplayer. It really works for me and I never had any problem whatsoever viewing the trailers at apple.com and I do that quite often.

You could also try the kaffeine plugin for mozilla. I think it simply opens kaffeine, so you won't get to see the movie embedded iirc, but I'm using konqueror with kaffeine (in this case it really acts as a plugin) and it really works like a charm.
