Rob,
I discussed this Chris Faylor. I think we should start using
http://xfree86.cygwin.com, please.
I know youa rgument that for Mirrors ../mirrors.html does not work, but
that only problem and we can use a few extra words
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/mirrors.html for links.
The idea of using xfree96.cygwin.com is like sourceforge.net. Every project
gets its own URL. I woulda ppreciate if you could incorporate
http://xfree86.cygwin.com at main URL.
Thanks
Suhaib

Importance: High
At this point the correct location for referring and linking to
cygwin/xfree86 content is
http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/
********
DO NOT REFER TO xfree86.cygwin.com at this point in time,
********
Thanks
Rob
