I've already talked with Dave Taylor a bit about this and came to the conclusion that if we wanted to run Abuse, we'd be better off running the Linux version than in trying to tilt at the various windmills inside crack.com. Face facts, folks. They like Linux there, they're motivated to port to Linux and that's about 100% more than you get from most DOS game companies so why not simply "go with the flow" as we like to say here in the states? Let them do their Linux ports and we'll treat them as a challenge for the Linux emulator. Mind you, if somebody here really WANTS to give crack.com a FreeBSD box in hopes that they'll actually power it up and port to it, well, I certainly won't stand in the way but that's strictly between the generous donor and crack.com. Please leave me out of the loop! Thanks.. Jordan
