Hehe, true... My desktop machine is running linux, but I also have AIX,
solaris, HPUX, DU, SCO and windows... I can't really put linux on them as we
port our software to those OSes... I'll run it on my desktop machine, tho...
It seems like a shame to ignore machines just because some people in the
world don't know that they should be running linux :)

Can you submit results via email? The only machine I have here that is
connected is a win95 box, but I am hoping to change that soon...
