There's a nice thing about Linux. You don't like a particular program your distro of choice came with? Replace it. There's plenty of alternatives for just about any part of the system, and it's generally not very hard to swap them out. As for drivers, I've never had any major problems on Linux with drivers for my stuff (though Windows 7 did refuse to use the driver for my graphics card for a while). Not sure what to tell you there.

Nothing. The idea is more of "get a few thousand people and as much information as possible to mars". A few thousand people wouldn't be all that difficult to transport (compared to billions, at least) And would be enough to carry on humanity without too many genetic issues.

Huh? Star Trek and Doctor Who are bad examples. In Star Trek (though im not sure of any episodes when German was spoken) they have universal translators. In Doctor Who most species have something similar (TARDIS translation matrix for time lords), and in one episode a Dalek was shown speaking German using whatever their equivalent is.
