Like several other people have mentioned, the term high brow depends on what you make of it for any different group. Most high brow groups tend to be elitists who look down their nose at everyone around them. And there are plenty of gamers that do that, but instead of pretentious british accents they mangle their text with |\|umb3rs f0r l3773rz.
My search for linux did eventually get some hits. It just took a while. At first it only had 9 results, but after I sat there for a while more showed up.
What really pissed me off and made this unusable from my point of view was the javascript (or whatever) scrollbar. It didn't respond to mouse wheel. Honestly, if everything else about this service somehow became better than google's offering, I still wouldn't use it just because of the lack of mouse wheel.
I wonder if its worth booting into windows to see if they made some weird ass keybindings for the mouse wheel in IE....
Game of Thrones is the way to go. Whether or not you've read the books, this is a wonderful fantasy/medieval strategy game. You certainly don't need to be familiar with the setting to play, though the board game is a perfect fit for the novels. It's especially fun because the game supports as much or as little roleplaying/powergaming/diplomacy/whatever-else your gaming group wants. The game is ideal for 4 players but works fine for 3-5 (or a sixth if you toss in the expansion, which I have to recommend.)
Since playing GoT I have had no desire to play any other board game at all.

Hello, 911? Yeah, this is Quagmire. Yeah. Yeah, it's stuck in a window this time.

The best distro is whatever the sysadmin feels most comfortable with. I wouldn't give a windows guy debian even if I belive debian to be the best.
Where I work we go with RedHat since they give us a customer support person to yell at when things break.
My computers always get names from Tolkien so it was a no-brainer that my router get called palantir.
