Yes. I was looking for the ``best bang for the buck.'' I'm not saying that Slashcode is necessarily superior to PHP-Nuke or the others, just in my case, It seemed to offer the smoothest look for the least amount of trouble. I did it also for my predescesor. If some day I am to hand the reigns over to someone else, I my design goal is to make it as easy as possible to do so. > > And this question makes me feel a little strange, but what graphic > design?

It may be from the Copyrighted GIF standpoint, but not from the Slashdot standpoint; they've released their material under the GPL. If the GIF copyright holders wish to enforce their patents in my case then I will simply convert them to another graphical format and update my code. > > What is linux-enterprise.net?

The linux-enterprise.net domain is one of several I own. When I started the project on Thursday I did not yet own mwvlug.org. I since purchased it and am now using it. As per the redirection, you are also right. I will make the sight straight mwvlug.org when I have re-located it to it's new home. There's nothing subversive here; I did it this way simply out of convenience and as a way to get the sight up as quickly as possible. > > Thanks for sending this info along, I'll forward your meeting > announcement to the Open Source User's Group mailing list over at the U > of O, those campus folk have their own small group there: > http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/open/ > You're welcome.
