Now the main programs I do use on my PC that I can't seem to find alternatives for seem to be DVD Shrink and my Sony NET MD drivers & software.
DVD players can be very personal choices. You should explain what it is about DVD Shrink that makes it your choice, then someone can offer an alternative from the 8 or so available for GNU/Linux. I've no idea on the minidisk thing - is it USB? Probably be seen as simple USB storage device and mounted as if it was a USB stick. It becomes part of the filesystem whilst it's mounted and any application can read/write to it.
read my mail, browse t'internet and chat on Yahoo & MSN.
MSN is a moving target - they have been known to change their protocols to exclude standard-compliant chat clients (gee, why's that a surprise?). Don't chat enough to know anything about Yahoo chat. email and surfing will work 100% - if you really want Flash, Java and other fripperies, ask someone else - I prefer to browse the www in a text browser like Lynx.
