[Techtalk] Intro & SMTP question...

[Cari]

Hi Rachel...

Well, I only installed linux on Sunday, so I guess I'm doing OK...  but 
I haven't really messed with DNS much yet.  Email is working now, by the 
way, but it is time to start playing with DNS to set up virtual hosts, 
etc....  Fun stuff.

...then I'm going to be pointing my "primary" domain to it and setting 
up my javachick.com site...  I'd like it to be a similar community to 
linuxchix, but I wonder if there would be any interest in that kind of 
thing...  (Ya know, for programmer girls - not just java programmers, by 
the way)
