I'd be happy to - though I guess I'll have to get one of those "blag" things the kids talk about. I'm also pondering SUSE's real time extensions. They at least make it easy to get a trial version of their enterprise distribution plus a trial version of the real time extensions to install on top. Redhat of course have a 30 day trial of RHEL but not, as far as I know, of MRG. 30 day trials aren't ideal - I have no intention of going into production without a real license but it'd be rather useful for educational purposes to be able to experiment without a timed trial (especially when hacking in the evenings only on it).
