Indeed. The updated site looks really good. I was just about to post
saying "I can't seem to reach plug.linux.org.au" ... but that explains
everything.

Perhaps run them in a UML or something if we have to keep them. I'm
learning to really like UML, by the way, and not just for security. Want
to keep running RH8 for your mail server etc (because you don't want to
mess with it) but use a more up-to-date distro for your terminal server?
Use UML :-) . I can't wait until it's multi-threaded so an SMP UML can
use multiple host CPUs...
