Hmm, Yes, the first place to introduce GNU/Linux or anything like it would be 
to control the network. I believe GNU systems are strong in this role. 
However, that would be *cough* less than trivial in a network the size of 
Strode's. I know Adrian Smith was interested in exploring Planet CCRMA or 
Agnula for music stuff too, I don't know whether that progressed any further.

Remember, three left turns often do make a right ;)
