The problems are twofold - bandwidth and load here. The cAos Foundation (www.caosity.org) currently has a machine being hosted at OSUOSL, and we are willing to provide whatever assistance we can to the E project via that server and our other servers hosted elsewhere. We have multiple systems we can bring to bear on the problem and can provide rrDNS load balancing services to help share the burden. While we already support working Enlightenment installs out-of-the-box, we are currently moving toward using E 0.17 as our default desktop, and thanks to some excellent theming work from LinuXY and titansoccer15, we will have a customized default theme in the very near future. We are happy to provide whatever services we can to assist the project on a temporary or permanent basis, either in the interim while you gather resources for your own server, or for as long as you see fit. We are a non-profit corporation and have resources of our own for obtaining and deploying hosting, hardware, etc. which are at your disposal. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
