Right on. Geek machismo and feminista can only remain pent up for so 
long. What better way to earn your merit badge than to stay up for 48 
hours on end inserting and removing the same disc, typing the same 
commands, over and over.

There could be an award for fewest damaged install media if cd/dvd 
(ether or pxeboot, floppy even!) is the chosen format. That way there is 
room for some finessing. It could be called Tux's Technê award or 
something similarly lame and geeky sounding.
