Gaussian random numbers in C#

Surutsu,System.Random is no congruential RNG, but is using an algorithm by Knuth known as ran3 in Numerical Recipes. I would still recommend to replace it with Mersenne Twister as you have already suggested.

Convert Date time to GMT

Better TZ support seems to be on most people's wishlist. Have you checked the J# java.util implementation (vjslib.dll)?

Linux

If you want to install Linux and Windows XP/NT on a box it can be a REAL pain if Windows is installed first.Download the ISO image for the Knoppix distribution. You can run it without installation on any recent hardware (be sure to have enough RAMs).
