Submission + - Linux Friendly Video Streaming? (xbmc.org)

earthwormgaz writes: Slashdot, I've set up a Linux XBMC + MythTV with FreeView machine for the lounge at home. It works pretty well for Linux, although things crash here and there. The Mrs wants LoveFilm or NetFlix, but it seems they're Silverlight and not Linux friendly.

Is there anyone doing streaming film and TV with Flash or something else that works on Linux?

Failing that, is there anyway to download a film for £4-6 say, as just an AVI file or something, legally?

Submission + - Best Open Communications Set Up for my Office

earthwormgaz writes: Hello Slashdot, I've started at a small company and our phone system is crusty, old and awful. We've got email hosted elsewhere on POP/IMAP, and we've got no groupware. The server here is Windows small business whatever it is and Exchange isn't set up, but I've put CentOS on it in a VM, and I'd like to do everything using open standards and open source where possible.

I've been looking at SOGO — http://www.sogo.nu/english.html
And these phones — http://www.avaya.com/uk/product/ip-office

What are my chances of getting all this stuff working together? What other suggestions have people got a for a small office and communications?
