Linux Ideas


Okay everyone I am looking for new ideas to do with linux.

So far this is what I have done

Web server with mysql, php, apache, php myadmin, all the other good stuff, etc.
Turned my Linux server into a VPS Host with OpenVZ and HyperVMto play with VPS. (Was really cool)
Desktop for mulimedia, gaming,


These are some of the things I have done. But I am getting bored and looking for more stuff to mess with. I have been messing with Linux (CentOS, Ubuntu, Slackware, DSL) for a steady around 1 year and learned some cool stuff.

So what are the other stuff that I can do that would be something interesting to learn about. Can be anything from wordprocessing to new hosting technology.

Open up your minds and tell me some good Linux potential. I got 1 Linux server 2 Linux or Windows Desktops. All with good fast hardware.

I turned my box into a MythTV server. I've also fiddled around recently with trying to get linux working on my old iPod.
