Mages,

It's nice to see so much SMGL activity.  It's been several years since I ran
Source Mage.  I've considered giving it another try many times but with the
lack of stable grimoire releases kept waiting to see if things were going to
improve or get worse.  Currently I'm running ArchLinux on an old x86 box.
I've recently acquired a newer x86_64 box and have been trying to decide
what to run on it.  I was originally planning to run FreeBSD, but couldn't
get an old video capture card I wanted to use to work with FreeBSD, so I
went back to Linux.  I'm running Gentoo on the box at the moment.

I couldn't resolve the above host name.  I was able to download the above
tarball by removing the dbg. from the host name.  I've switched on as-needed
and am giving a basesystem rebuild a try in a chroot on the above mentioned
Gentoo box.

So far the only failure I've seen summoning linux 3.0.0

What's the definition of a legacy system? One that works!
