due to unforseen circumstances, www.linux-noob.com will go offline tonight January 8th 2009.
At this point I cannot say WHEN it will come back online,
I received an printed letter today (2009/08/jan) stating that
1. a user has complained that an email received from www.linux-noob.com (entitled happy new year from linux-noob.com 3rd January 2009 - 10:16 PM) was spam (it wasn't, see below)
copy of email sent too MEMBERS of linux-noob.com

and that
2. a webserver called http://linux-noob.com breaks the ISPs terms and conditions (point 4.1, appa\rently you are not allowed to have a webserver providing a service or information to others)
As this contradicts the ISP's terms and conditions, I have been given until 2009/09 at 8.am to fix it (ie: take it offline)
I apologise for this in advance and hope to have everything back online again very soon,
until then, adios
cheers
