Wouldn't it be nice to create a mini distribution specifically for contests?
It would need the following:
Debian based.
Console based (no X).
Small precompiled kernel (2.0 kernel would do) which can run on a 386.
Contest software (we should check out CX and tlf)
Packet radio and TCP/IP support.
Small disk usage, e.g. 50 MB.
Nicest way would be a bootable CD and logs stored somewhere on the network.
