Oh, yeah, another question is whether DICE will be bringing up some public 
Linux test servers. It sounded like Ryan lacked the resources to do that so 
reproducing some bugs could be harder than they needed to be. I see a lot 
of EA servers in my browser list, presumably all Windows. How about making 
some of those Linux so that the DICE Linux folk will be able to use them to 
work some of the hard-to-reproduce bugs? I'd also suggest deploying some on 
BSD boxes (using the Linux compatibility stuff), as there are some hosters 
who use BSD for its reputation of security and network performance.
