foo-projects.org

[Brian J. Tarricone]

foo-projects!  it's absolutely brilliant!  brilliant i tell you!

from an outside standpoint, i don't really see why it's necessary, but
if it makes admin tasks easier on you, by all means, you're the boss.

i'm a little confused though.  first you say:

but then later you seem to contradict yourself:

so what is it?  are you going to give us a single hostname that "won't
be anything with lunar or xfce," or are we going to use
espreso.lunar-linux.org?  (which, in case you didn't catch it, has the
word 'lunar' in it ^_~)  personally, it doesn't matter to me...  i've had
my imaps host set to lunar-linux.org for quite a while.
