What's Going On!

10/10/98:
Added a legal disclaimer to the about page as a saftey net for myself, the mirrors, and the various authors. Can't be too safe in this sue-happy world.

10/09/98:
Wow! What a day!! On Oct. 8th & 9th, you may have recieved an:
500 Server Error

   The hard transfer limit for this user has been reached
Well, this was all your fault. ;-) Due to wild user demand because of an announcement on Freshmeat.net, the hits on this site increased 300% in 24 hours! And after 200MB had been transfered and my quota reached, the above error was displayed. My ISP, Best Internet has now as of 8:51am Pacific Friday relaxed my quota to 600MB/24 hour period for the next three days. Hopefully this will stop the errors!

Also there has been a huge addition of entries to the FAQ. Thanks to everyone who has written new entries or answered questions!

10/03/98:
Well there's a number of subtle changes to the FAQ recently, other than a number of new entries. I've created a "stop" page for the Entry Form- hopefully this will put to rest the influx of questions people have been asking via the forms. I've hopefully gotten rid of all but the last "bug" in the new CGI's. Some browsers handle line breaks differently, so fixing thist last one may take some time. The good news is that Netscape on Linux works fine. Also I've started the FAQ Entry Standardization Project. Currently there are 4 different formats for the Entries; I will one by one converting them to a single format. This will not only help in the readability, but making searches more useful as well.

09/27/98:
Well you may notice some instability with the FAQ's at the master site as I work out some issues with the CGI's. If you get annoyed, just use one of the mirrors which aren't being effected.

09/26/98:
Well Gimp 1.0 is pretty darn rad. It allows even color-blind artistically challenged people like me to make cool looking graphics. So incase you haven't seen the new button for the Red Hat Linux User's FAQ, here it is:
By all means fell free to use this to link to this site! I've even included the HTML to imbed in the help section of the faq.

09/23/98:
For some reason I have to figure out, I'm getting deluged in people submitting questions via the "Add an Entry" form. Let me see if I can make this clear:

The form is not for asking questions! I will delete any submission that does not include an answer without even reading it.

It is only there so that people can send in FAQ's (questions with the answer). Yes, it used to allow people to ask questions, but I've had to do a total re-write of the CGI's & forms and currently they don't support asking questions. Later on I will start supporting questions again- notice of which will be mentioned here.

09/15/98:
I've been talking to the nice folks at Red Hat Software, Inc. about some things. Anyways, they reminded me that Red Hat is spelled "Red Hat" not "RedHat" or "Redhat". Hence you'll now notice that I spell Red Hat correctly!

09/11/98:
You'll notice that I've taken off a number of sites from the list of mirrors. It was decided between be and owners of those sites that it was in the best interest of everyone to do this. Please update your bookmarks. I've also finally placed the proper copywrite\registered information on the pages.

08/24/98:
The RHLUFAQ is now mirrorable via the
Perl program w3mir as long as you have 1.0.4pre2 or later (prior versions had a bug with certain tags getting broken). You can grab a w3mir config file for the FAQ here.

08/23/98:
New and imporoved forms for adding/updating entries for the FAQ. Documentation covering the new features of the forms comming soon.

08/09/98:
Oh, nothing major, just a new search engine. ;-)

07/29/98:
Added a couple of entries to the FAQ and provided non-Java pages for users who want them.

07/28/98:
Yes, another North American mirror is up! This one is hosted by Chuck Mead in Clinton, NC.

07/06-07/98:
Fixed the link to Tim Lyons mirror at DigitalVoodoo.ORG and added another entry to the FAQ.

06/23/98:
I got tired of emailing all the lists and wasting bandwith telling people when the site got updated, so now those who are interested can do it with NetMind.

06/22/98:
I'm still getting some fall-out from the major change earlier in the month to the FAQ. Thanks to Tim Lyons for noticing that most of the FAQ Form links were broken. Hopefully this should be the last problem to surface from the site re-do. I've also emptied my queue of new FAQs/Questions people have been submitting over the past week or so.

06/10/98:
Tim Lyons of Massachusetts is now providing another mirror for those located on the eastern seaboard. If your connection is slow to the other sites, give this one a try!

06/05/98:
Incase you didn't notice, the FAQ has gone through a pretty significant overhaul. A little bit of eye candy to spice things up as well a new frames version for easier navigation. I've also snuck in half a dozen or so more entries to the FAQ as well. Also if you're visiting from South America, check out the latest mirror in Uruguay!  Lastly thanks to Joe Cooper for his help converting some text files into FAQ's!

05/21/98:
Well my finals are finally over so I've just gone through the backlog of FAQ updates and requests. I was really happy to see two questions that had been posted earlier got answered. Now if something can only be done about the remaining 17. :-)
I'm still eagerly awating a number of people to finish their clean up of the FAQ's I emailed the RedHat-List about. So far only 3 people have done the work they promised. :-(

04/23/98:
Twenty-Seven new FAQ's have been added to the RHUFAQ! Many thanks go out to:
Ray Curtis
Magnus Schoultz
David S. Jackson
for their help in the conversion efforts. I'd also like to thank Last Man Standing for providing the base texts which these entries are basied on- without him, none of this would be possible. And last a great big thanks to everyone who offered to help. The response of the Linux community was overwhelmingly supportive. Look for about 75 more entries comming in the near future as others complete their conversion efforts.
