Well, if I get TNG going tonight, I'll run it at a TNG PDC.

Uhm, what kind of hardware?  Hopefully I can borrow an P166 type machine
from work for an NT PDC, but the TNG server will be a dual-proc SPARC with
128MB of ram, running almost nothing else.

Again, if I can get this running (my incompetence is the barrier here :),
I'll leave it running tonight and all day tomorrow, and we'll see how fast
it brings that machine to it's knees.
