I'm not sure exactly what Ryan/Epic is working on ... there are times
when more is not better, and trying to find bugs in multi-threaded code

Personally I'm more interested in a stable linux server than a client at
this point.  I can play the Windows client till it comes out, it's not
an option for everyone, but it works for me.
