Well that penguin, and I dare say the Daiquiri are doing just fine. I'm very 
much alive and well thanks. I no longer have any 'influence' with the norfolk 
domain and have not had any for some months. As a result I was unable to keep 
the rubber band tightend up and oiled and the DNS crashed several times too 
often. 

The steps are bigger than linux.nf and the new name is an excellent and 
appropriate choice. Doug has done a tremendously good job with the Internet 
side of the Steps and the restrictive nature of the nf domain has prevented 
him, and others, from implementing even more goodies (aka jobs@). That said, 
your point is taken about the 'uniqueness' of having Norfolk Island in the 
soup and is indeed part of the magic.

linux.nf remains as a registered entity, mostly to do with the vested 
interests of several of the editors. But as a website and mailgroup it is 
time to move on.
