[LUAU] FYI - how far Linux has come

[David Kiwerski]

I keep a desktop motherboard on the testbench set up just to try 
different distros.   Along with KIWI, Faun and CrunchBang also have all 
the restricted stuff.   CB is beta at this time.   DreamLinux 3.1 makes 
it real easy tgo install all these.
