[Techtalk] Fixing up live.linuxchix.org

[Meryll Larkin]

Heh heh heh,  I wasn't seeing the distortion on my Windows box (where I'm
doing my homework/studying), so I switched to my RedHat box where I have
plenty of other browsers, including conqueror.  Trouble is, I can't seem to
access the Web site at ALL from my Linux box - are you using an unusual
port?  Any ideas?  The error message I get says:

An error occurred while loading http://live.linuxchix.org
Unknown host live.linuxchix.org

Have you verified this for this particular page? The problem I have with
this is that I can do this, but then I need someone who actually had the
problem to verify that it's fixed for me. Can you see the problem
yourself?
