It seems a lot of your services are not being started.  Execute netstat -at.   It should show you the open tcp ports.  Here's the output of netstat -at in my laptop: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

In theory, GPU should be faster than the general-purpose CPUs.  But I'm not aware of any Linux-based, FOSS app that do GPU-based video encoding.  Here (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2282401,00.asp) says Intel is faster than AMD in encoding video.  Your best bet is probably the PS3.
