2.6.6 from kernel.org. Newer kernels should work as well.

watching dvds is no fun. Two many frame drops.

???. Haven't used it for a while. But it depends too much on the
services you run anyway.

Some time in the past I heard it, but that must have been more than 2 years
ago. I sometimes ask myself if it is broken, but the cpu never got
to hot.

That looks reasonable.

No.
