That's an interesting idea. pdxlinux.org would need a cert, or it would look untrustworthy. On Feb 25 Joey Pruett suggested: > rapidsslonline.com is pretty reasonable. 5 year for $69 I looked at that site: http://www.rapidsslonline.com/rapidssl-certificates.php ... for a "single root certificate". I will have to learn what that means and how it applies to a site. Does that certify all pages https://www.pdxlinux.org/* ?
