From: David Merrill <david@lupercalia.net> To: LDP Weekly News <news@linuxdoc.org>, Linux Weekly News <lwn@lwn.net>, Brian Proffitt <bproffitt@internet.com> Subject: LDPWN for 2002-04-09 Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 11:11:09 -0500 LDP Weekly News 2002-04-09 by David Merrill New Domain Name The Linux Documentation Project has a new domain name. You can now find the LDP on the web at www.tldp.org. This name change came about due to some difficulties with the linuxdoc.org domain name. In order to have clear rights to the domain name, the LDP had to relocate its primary services site. You can still reach the LDP by pointing your browser to www.linuxdoc.org, but you will be redirected to www.tldp.org. This move may come as a surprise for many LDP faithful, but the majority of the staff believed that the change was necessary to assure that the LDP would be available for the next wave of new Linux users. Our mailing lists, cvs, and other bits and pieces are being gradually updated to recognize the new domain, so for awhile people will see both domains being used. I'll post more information on the status of the domain updates as it becomes available. New Documents * I/O Performance HOWTO http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IO-Perf-HOWTO/ Version 1.0, Sharon D.

Merrill http://www.lupercalia.net Linux Documentation Project david@lupercalia.net Lead Developer http://www.linuxdoc.org In one piece of email people were suggesting that Office had to work equally well with all browsers and that we shouldn't force Office users to use our browser. This is wrong and I wanted to correct this. --Bill Gates, January 1997.
