We will video the VIA EPIA PX5000EG running Ubuntu 8.04 Linux, playing an Mpeg-4 video, naked, so to speak. How long will it last?! The maximum length of this competition test will be two weeks. At that stage we'll we'll take a hair dryer to it, turn the heating up in the room, anything to make it crash! That's if it lasts that long in the first place. The video of the testing will be released as our way of making the announcement of the winning guess. We'll speed it up and have the video available for you to watch at the end of the competition. Note that if it crashes on day one, we're not going to tell you. We will only reveal the video footage and the time of the crash on Monday 2 June 2008.
