I'm definitely the only one that read this as a Graphics card that was able to boot Linux XD

Exactly, and this is breathing a lot of new life into the Quake community. I suspect many players will make their way to Vanilla Quake 3 and likely CPMA as well.
Well the Quake 3 engine is most definitely cross platform, and is being ported to many architectures (as seen by the ioquake3 posts here), but I think the real battle id is facing is not getting the engine itself running, but getting it to run inside the target web browsers. As far as I can tell each browser platform does this in a slightly different way, and I think there are already separate builds for IE and Firefox on Windows to accommodate this.
+1, I've always loved how mac software is bundled this way, and how they have special backgrounds/icons (or however it's done) explaining exactly what to do.
I've gotten into the habit of reflexively holding down shift whenever I insert a drive or cdrom, either that or you can just disable it completely.
I should point out that -n disables password prompting, and this was testing using the same user, so I'm not sure if this is actually what you meant.
Sick, it does work:
while true; do sudo -n whoami; sleep 60; done
At first it returns:
sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo
But after using sudo from another terminal it returns:
root
I don't have any particular naming scheme, I just use this page http://www.seventhsanctum.com/gens/adnamegen.php and refresh a few times till something cool sounding comes up.
