The site was hacked just before xmas.

company I suppose, but why isn't anyone saying anything?

frontpage, msnbc, and cnn.

> Also, I'm not exactly sure they were running Slackware.  There's talk that
the webserver was running bsd or freebsd.  But it seems I remember something
on their page a few months back saying they were switching and going to use
their own OS (slackware.com) when the site was completed -- don't quote me
on that, I really can't remember the details.
