It looks like there's still time for those of you who haven't gotten your 
contest entries in.  
Without going through all the gruesome details, suffice it to say that 
Shaw's going through a fairly gory process of rebuilding bits and pieces of 
Debian on the Alpha box.  We make a point of never complaining about donated 
hardware (thanks again, Brian!) but the fact of the matter is that 
recompiling X from sources takes time on any machine.  :-(
That particular "loose end" has just taken a lot more time to "wrap up" than 
we originally anticipated.  
So, in the mean time, keep sending in those guesses!
