Again, I would be happy to let dICE use my server for testing. If they
need a password for it, I would be happy to apply one. 

They may even be able to talk me into letting them have a shell on it.

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.
