8-) using any kind of 'super geek' terminal entry code will work...until
that is they go, "ah wow! lets check your machine specs out" and then
tries doing 'grep "$" < `cat /proc/cpuinfo; free -b ; uname -a` etc etc
:-)

..unless you've got GG2 installed..in which case you can get away with
some of it.

....of course, they'll still get VERY impressed when the GUI can pop up in
less than 3 seconds of disk activity 8-)
