Hi,

I have been the volunteer webmaster for LinuxHQ.com for the past 2
years.  The linuxhq.com domain is no longer accessable, because the
original creator of the website has taken back the domain name.  The
reasoning behind all of this is still quite mysterious to me.  I can
only speculate on the reasons.

This means that the following websites have "disappeared":

  http://linuxhq.com/             LinuxHQ
  http://edge.linuxhq.com/        Cutting Edge Linux
  http://juanjox.linuxhq.com/     ipmasqadm

Additionally, anybody that was using a @linuxhq.com name for their
email will no longer be getting mail.

I sensed something was up a week ago.  As a precaution, I registered
"kernelnotes.org" in the event that this happened.  The new domain
should appear in tonight's root server update.  The sites should be
available tomorrow as:

  http://kernelnotes.org/             LinuxHQ   (204.209.212.113)
  http://edge.kernelnotes.org/        Cutting Edge Linux 
  http://juanjox.kernelnotes.org/     ipmasqadm

Hopefully, this is only a temporary situation.  Sorry for any
inconvenience - this is completely beyond my control.

Cheers,

 - Jim
