Hey Ed, nevermind the above; if it weren't for Linux/Unix, I doubt that Crafty would be where it is today -- at least, that's my guess. I presume that once you get your networking up and running, then you'll probably be asking CCC how to run Crafty over the network on a Linux box, right? No problem! Just ask! Who knows what distribution you're using, but if it's Mandrake, then look at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/72/index.php3?cd=installpwp&s=././wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk.i586
