Building a Linux Box

As always the case i head back to Linux to stuff around and see whats cooking. A few things I want to try:

1. Send an SMS from my connected Nokia phone if the power is cut.

This should be pretty easy. Firstly i need a ups to execute a command if the power is cut. I'm pretty sure this will be handled well in Linux. Next I need a program that will send an SMS thru my phone. I'm thinking of using one of these programs:

a) Gnokii
b) Wammu

2. Set up a camera security system with movement detection

Ive seen a few proggys about and I think this one is best: ZoneMinder
