[bf1942] Best Version of Linux to run for this test?

[Kevin J. Anderson]

errr, correction.  march=athlon-tbird -03 -pipe
and kernel 2.4.19 gentoo-sources r10

each of the 3 bf1942 threads is using 81megs of ram though after running for
a few days.  I just restarted it and its now using 70Megs in each thread.

My only disclaimer is that I havent had more than 4 people playing at once
so far, but we didnt have any issues while doing that.

ps.  Gentoo kicks arse.   I would only go freebsd if I needed a single cpu
system that my job depended on it staying up/reliable.
