Hi,

I put a lot of work into the network and the virtualbox chapters in the freedos 
wiki and I like to continue that work. So if you ask me, I would clearly prefer 
to stay with MediaWiki. 

I took a quick look on Wikia though and I am not sure that's the right place. 

There are a lot of ads! 

The sort of ads that ask you who's US president (Clinton, Bush, Obama) to get a 
greencard.

Hmm. On my macbook 13 screen, nearly half the content of the wikia freedos page 
is ads. 

I am not sure I like to be a part of that.

Okay I just found out you can minimize the annoying bar at the bottom that 
keeps popping up. So that's better. But still.

I took a quick look here [1] and here [2] and unfortunately there are not too 
many free wiki hosting sites. 
 
Maybe we continue to search for more solutions for a few days. 

I also will make a backup of the chapters I wrote from sourceforge, as I am not 
sure I still have them on my hdd at home.

thanks for the info, best wishes
Ulrich
