Not a problem.  Thanks for the info!

Are people on this list interested in having me host this web site?  I 
haven't heard back either way from anyone.  

I will be upgrading/moving accounts from one server to a newer one over the next 
2 months or so, but as most of you know, this can easily be done with very 
little or no down time.  Right now the server this site would go on runs Red Hat 
Linux 7.3 and Ensim 3.1.x, keeping it patched using the Fedora 
Legacy project .. the new server will have Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 
Ensim 3.7 ... the current server is very under-utilized (typical load 
of .1 to .3) ... it is a P4 1.7GHz with 512 MB RAM .. plenty of disk space 
available (20+ GB) .. the new server has better specs .. just to give 
everyone an idea of the hardware that I have available.  It is hosted at 
ev1servers.net (some of you will probably not be happy about that due to 
the recent SCO goings on .. I wasn't but decided to stay because I feel that 
the owners are trying more than anything to protect their customers).

I ask my next question because I honestly don't know how perl monger sites 
are typically hosted .. does anyone typically pay for hosting or is it normally 
volunteered space?  I am fine either way :), I mean that.  It would be an
honor to host this site.

So, anyone have any objections to hosting the nova.pm site on a server of
mine or have a counter-offer to make?

No hard feelings if people decide they would rather host the site elsewhere :).

If anyone is interested in checking out my business site to see if it is a
place that agrees with them morally/ethically/policy-wise, the web site is 
the domain of my email address which I won't explicitly give here as it 
is not my intention to advertise.

Regards,
Max
