A few years back one of the universities in the states (Can't remember which one, can't find a url) had a code war, where people would write short programs that would try to kill the other program to be king of the hill. It'd be amusing if some group of people decided to do the same with deathmatches, two people with extremely hacked clients connect to a standard server and battle, whoever has the better code wins.:P
That's one more reason Linux is great, if Linux becomes the dominant OS for the average user it would most likely be one of the bigger distrobutions, like RedHat or Caldera, in which case the die hard underdogs will simply side with smaller distros or *BSD or build their own thereby keeping them in an elite group.
