In the meantime, I'll happily take suggestions as to how we make it
fair(ish). And someone do me the favor and post this over to
alt.os....ubuntu.

Frank & Alias - you can get all the help you want from others, but once you
both agree to the challenge, a very short time-limit will be set.

Only other suggestion I have before I retire for a shortish (british) nap,
is for both contestants (should they accept) to familiarize themselves with
the full mighy BOFH repository of wisdom...
