I would think that if you could reach the RaQ via telnet, you=20

Getting yourself a "public SSH key" is a simple matter once=20
you've got OpenSSH installed--no need to actually register with=20
an online database somwhere. You just generate an RSA key pair=20
via "ssh-keygen -t rsa" and enter the password when it asks for=20
one. When you want SSH2 public-key access to a server, you just=20
send your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file (and a nice little access=20
request message) off to the server admin.

At this point, I think we're all in favor of using=20
inceptionos.org as the main site. As for FTP=20
hosting...inceptionos.org will at least be a primary mirror. =20
Better for it to become the master FTP archive, I think--the=20
alternative is for developers to connect to my box over a dodgy=20
cable modem with a mere 30K/sec upstream. Ouch ouch ouch. =3D/
I'm personally in favor of Geeklog myself--it suits the style we=20
want quite well. It'll take a MySQL backend, but it shouldn't=20
generate enough SQL traffic to overload the system--especially=20
