Now there's an idea (he thinks):  An Unreal Tournament LAN Party, half
with MS boxes half with Linux boxes, and let Linux strut its' stuff in
direct competition ;)

ping is important in these games, the better you are at them the more
important things like ping are (and the extra delay of using a wireless
mouse) which means that every linux box sending out properly configured
packets is going to have to compete with every windows box sending out
malformed "me first!" packets.

If only my XP box would send out "Me first" packets-malformed or 
otherwise.Life is just too short to wait twenty minutes for it to renew the 
network address via DHCP.

Linux at least connects to the LAN instantaneously.Mmmm..don't have any 
games,though.
How about turning my flat into a Linux Cyber Cafe instead?Or a Linux drop-in 
centre?
