On Number 6:
The Blog you link to about the importance of TOR seems to have been killed.
It’s still in google’s chache at the moment but given that google must have killed the blog I don’t know how long that will stay true.

On Number 2

While I use Linux more and more and find it useful, It’s still “not quite there” for most use. I know what I’m doing so I can poke around and fix the issues I come across but most people will have no clue.

For example, I put Ubuntu on my new netbook. I had issues such as, the USB key build didn’t load even though I followed the instructions. The Wireless didn’t work “out of the box” because it used the so called restricted drivers. These seem like minor issues and they were resolved but the reality is they would be complete deal breakers for people who aren’t familiar with how a computer works on a more fundamental level than “you turn it on and type”. Or even for people who have no clue how to properly use Google.
