Same to you Nicola. I have finally given up and dropped one of my
classes, and I immediately took steps to make sure this didn't
artificially inflate my GPA by downloading the AWE Howto that you and
Marcus put together :) I havn't read it yet but within a day or two I
will be able to get involved again.

Nor mine, though I didn't look that carefully. There was some hoopla from
the guy who ran the client that found the key saying he wished it had been
a Mac (it was found by an NT machine), but I don't recall anything about
Linux. I have been meaning to look at some of the other efforts that were
floating around and see if they started in on 64 (I kind of doubt it since
they didn't have anywhere near the participation bovine did). In
particular I know there was one place that would give the winner
$8000/$10000, and that might be a good place to start a linux team, if
they have a provision for it and are still around. What bug was it that
you found? I have the source to the 56 bit client but havn't gotten around
to looking at it.
