When it is not at HUMBUG it is at home, where I have no net connection. 
Even if I had a net connection, I doubt if I could afford to make all this
data available to the public.  Sometime in the near future I will make it
available to BrisMesh, although that won't help you.

If I can strap my server to my back and walk for 6 hours to get to and from
HUMBUG meetings, you can damn well make the effort of sitting in a comfy
plane for 15 B-).

Whatever SuSE 8.2 uses for its doc server search engine.  I suspect it is
htdig.  Gotta love SuSE 8.2, point and click gets most things done.
