I thought 3.4 was out a couple of weeks back?  When Jim Ray 
was asking about Knoppix on his AMD I checked and _thought_
I saw 3.4 with optional 2.6 being advertised.  Just splitting
hairs while avoiding real work.

You're a webpage wizard ;->  Actually I appreciate the restraint.
I maintain www.sigtran.org and got a request to link www.netbricks.com
which I refused because it locks up Firebird and Firefox.  The page
source is full of what I suppose is ActiveX.

I read through the bit torrent intro/faqs/server setup (I've not
done b/t yet).  I like what I see - in theory.  My security sensors
are tingling though perhaps more out of ignorance than anything else.
Also, once you become part of a bit torrent network are you a relay for
anything including unathorized distributions of copyrighted works?

I like these excerpts from the server setup guide:

1. "it's primarily written for people running Windows"
2. "Therefore it's strongly recommended that you use a tracker running
on a stable server system (as opposed to your unstable Windows desktop
system)."
