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
