Jeremy Fowler's threats of legal action notwithstanding, what would have
to go into an "X box distribution?"  I'm thinking a LTSP boot diskette
that would do DHCP and then load everything from a mainframe somewhere
within Communitech, and then crap out after about a week if you don't
pay the bill.

For people who have roadrunner and would like to see "that linux thing"
they've heard about.

Anyone at Communitech feel like discussing feasability off-list?
