This is a very good idea, and an excellent opportunity for those beginning programming to get at least some idea of how a professional and fun game is done. Keep up the good work, id Software!
For crying out loud, stop being so skeptical!

Hemos et al,
It seems the overwhelming majority of Slashdot readers are those who belong to persuasions other than Christianity. That's cool--everybody's got to do his/her own thing. My question is, why are so many, regardless of philisophical leaning, so quick to dismiss a Christian Linux distro as a hoax? I went and checked this site out myself, as it sounded like something Christian Linux users could use. I know that I'd certainly check it out, and possibly even make it _my_ OS, if in fact it existed. The site says that it is not a hoax, refutes Slashdot comments that say it is a hoax, et cetera. So it's not a hoax. I for one think it's a good thing. Why don't we have more diverse Linux distrubutions, anyway? For all those non-Christians who grumble about our religion, by all means, create your own distro with your own ideas. But don't begrudge us something that means a lot to us. I applaud the efforts of those who are creating this distribution, and am disappointed in those of the open-source community who, while proclaiming themselves to be so open-minded, are so quick to dismiss something new as an "obvious hoax." Try not to be _quite_ so skeptical, folks.
I spend my summers between college years back home in Los Alamos, a small town with one movie theater that has three screens. Except for a few adults, the place is basically run by teenagers--people I graduated from high school with, and some who still are in high school. Many of these people would not be averse to taking an incentive payment for grabbing a film--and believe me, in this theater (which is playing TPM right now), it would not be at all hard to break into the projection booth. You wouldn't even have to, since everybody knows everyone else and if you slipped the projectionist a hundred or so, you'd probably have quite an easy time. I'd imagine that many small theaters are like this.
