1. Your old box has plenty enough power for SBS and all plugins you might want to use and also does speedstep, so it probably isn't that power hungry either. 2. Sure. Unison might be one solution to achieve what you want. http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ Better keep a backup copy on an external hard drive too, ripping music and tagging is so much work you don't want to repeat more than once. ;-) 3. There are some that don't, but the vast majority does (>90%?). 4. Might I ask why you use the apple lossless format? Do you want to retain compatibility with an iPod? 5. Isn't really needed. ;-) Since you will install Linux on a dedicated machine just pop in the Linux DVD (Vortexbox or (K)Ubuntu) in the drive and follow the instructions, play around a little, think a little, ask a little when problems arise. Seriously, the distro you choose has the documentation you want. 6. Yes, but you might have to manually alter some configuration files to get it to work, and don't forget to enable it in the BIOS of your computer. 7. Vortexbox or (K)Ubuntu. I use Kubuntu, good docu, easy to keep up-to-date from the command line. When I want a graphical connection to this box which itself doesn't have a monitor attached I use FreeNX, a client for Windows is also around.
