There is a hardware information tool that should be able to detect what is
visible to the kernel in a bit more meaningful way than dmesg but its name
escapes me at the moment. Have a search for 'hardware' in Software Centre.

Apropos of anything do any checking you do against a whois database very
carefully as most providers recognise dictionary scans and block them pretty
quickly. Eeeh, I can remember when you could *download* the whois

There's a script called websvn running daily and failing. Try running
/etc/cron.daily/websvn from the command line and see what's happening. If
you just want to suppress the mail, append >&/dev/null to the command line
in anacron or remove root from the MAILTO environment variable in
/etc/anacronta

Windows is rather fussy about its boot sequence and it's going to be easier
to choose one boot loader for all three OSes, of which Grub is probably the
easier to set up.
