I really like your design and I was pondering a very nice
use for it at home.

I have a machine I use as a development server. I would
like to have this box serve double-duty as a Linux based
game server. In the past I did these things with multiple
hard drives and drawers, but this time around I would
like to use a Linux distribution like yours.

I am picturing a boot option that asks me if I want to
boot to Unreal, Neverwinter Nights, a GUI, etc. The
games themselves could be installed on a local hard
drive partition mounted by Linux. I could have one
partition with games in subdirectories or a seperate
partition per game, whichever fits best.

If you would be willing to help me make the neccessary
modifications to your ISO image, I would be more than
happy to debug, test and document the end results.

    Hi !

    Sorry about the late answer, i have my summer holidays at
    the moment .
    I have a proposal, tell me what you need the distro to do
    and i'll do it for you .

    I am not that much into game servers, but if you tell me what
    need to be started and so on, we'll solve it together .

    I have always done these servers under Windows NT 4/5 in
    the past. I will be building a Red Hat 7.3 server in the next
    couple days for web/news/mail/ftp/etc. I will see about
    getting one or more running on that machine so that I know
    exactly what is needed.

    If the gentleman/lady from New Jersey that seemed similarly
    interested would also like to chime in, perhaps we can create
    a discussion thread instead of treating this like a support
    issue.
