I'm curious how many tasks top reports on Swift Linux with just a terminal and top running. I have a Fedora 15 box that I use for development. I can't think of any servers that I've told it to run and it doesn't have http servers running on it. Shortly after it boots, top reports that it has 137 tasks running. After 15 minutes or so that number has dropped to 129. And a suggestion: you might have some "office hours" -- an hour or two a week where you commit to being available to chat with people and possibly allow remote logins. That would let people kick the tires a bit themselves. (I'm working on something like that myself.)
