and thank god it isn't linux.  i have to admin 25 linux boxes at work, and i
swear and cuss all day long.  i used to just not care for it before i started
admining this many of them.  now i flat out hate it.

is turning linux emul mode off really needed?  i don't use apm, but i've 
never shut linux off for a world build and i've never had trouble.

thanks for the support
