I'm currently looking into both of these - unfortunately my Rockfire USB 
adapter is reported as having the "Joystick Axes Problem" with stepmania...

...hopefully pydance will be fine or there'll be some hackaround.

I'll be bringing Lokar: a 100MHz Pentium with no CDROM. It runs MuLinux 
as a stopgap measure - I'll be putting Slackware on it in due course.

I'm interested in seeing other people's setups especially with respect 
to gaming on a modest spec.

PS: everybody make nametags -- it can be awkward to ask somebody what 
their name is for the fifth or sixth time! There will be a lot of new 
information floating around and we don't want to make things more 
difficult than they have to be.
