Subject: Finding Linux

I have a couple of questions concerning the recent posts:

        1.      Where can I find a recent copy of Linux?  I did an Archie
                search, and it provided over 1500 references to Linux.  I
                need an FTP address and directory.

        2.      What use is there for LambdaMOO on a PC-based system?  Is
                this something that would run on a BBS, or what?  I am
                having trouble visualizing multi-user input on a
                non-mainframe or non-network system.

        3.      If there IS a use for LambdaMOO on a PC (which obviously
                there must be, with all the interest shown here), where
                can the most recent version be found?  I assume XEROX.COM
                would be a good place to start ... just wondering if there
                are any other sources.

Thanks for the assistance here, and see you in the MOO.

		  I don't know, but I imagin(sp) that you could build objects
		  and test them then transfer them to an active moo.

tsx-11.mit.edu  don't remember the directory, but it didn't take too long to
find it last time.

obviously, your assesment of the PC architecture is flawed.  By placing unix
on your PC, you can turn it into what you might consider a networking
mainframe system.  Linux is one free way of doing that.  I paid $1600
for a variant of AT&T's System V, Release 4 produced by Dell, Inc.  It
runs on my 486, and beats the snot out of a SPARC.

see above.  It has the same funtionality as any other MOO running on any other
variant of Unix.
