I think Theo answered your second question. BTW, love Theo's technical answer to the bigger problem. Greg

Yes, it's bullshit, and yes, Theo answered your question. www is
a mirror.

Is this just bullshit? I think the question was answered indirectly when he mentioned www.openbsd.org being a mirror site. As I understand it, openbsd.org is the root site (probably in Theo's house) but www.openbsd.org is the main mirror located at the university. It has much higher bandwidth so it should be used instead. As a matter of courtesy as well as practicality, you should use www.openbsd.org instead.

As a matter of courtesy as well as practicality, you should use www.openbsd.org instead. www.openbsd.org has some scripts and pages that no other mirror carries, i.e. /cgi-bin/man.cgi, /cgi-bin/cvsweb and a few others. But you don't have to worry about it -- all mirrors link to www.openbsd.org for those pages that they are not supposed to carry. Cheers, Constantine.

Thanks for all your answers. Sorry for creating all that fuss -- I should have interpreted Theo's answer correctly. Martin [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
Re: www.openbsd.org (and vs openbsd.org)
You can still get to the FAQ. I have a search box setup in FF and I was able to get to it... So the whole site ain't down, probably a permissions issue???

Long time ago I was told that I shouldn't use openbsd.org, as it wasn't/isn't the official site. I was told to always use the www subdomain. Maybe this was just some people pulling my chain, however, I remember having discovered small differences between the two sites (for more than a year ago, though). The two names point to different addresses (this may mean nothing or everything). Please enlighten me :) Sorry for the noise.

1. www.openbsd.org replies with Forbidden at the moment -- but I guess most people already know. www.openbsd.org is a mirror on a good network connection. at the moment it is recovering from having eaten itself.
