I agree, but following our discussion at this time last month, I sorta think that those 98% of the planetary computer literates might just be a good target as well. ;-) Increasing Netrek player count is more important to me than increasing the Linux population by attempting to force players to use Linux. What I _really_ need on the Linux/UNIX front is people to package up the client and server for the various flavours. We've already had a go at that, but lacked enthusiasm to continue. Bob did some excellent work at Red Hat spec files for the server, but I haven't had time to keep it alive after I dropped Red Hat on my machines. I've had a go at making Debian packages, and I seem to be nearly on top of it, and yet the latest server release was still only .tar.gz. We need someone willing to learn (or already knows) packaging. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
