A user can declare another user their rival. If the other user accepts the rivalry, both users lose 100 rep. The person who gained the most rep at the end of 7 days gets +500.

I've got this terrible terrible Windows PC (not just because of the OS, Specs are :P too) and I'm reinstalling Windows to try and regain some semblance of speed.
And at the same time I would like to install a Linux Distro, just to see if I can't start converting my house, and also because Linux/Ubuntu is quite often faster than Windows.
