Re: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/
Well for this change - Suhaib its your decision. I'm happy with xfree86.cygwin.com and the links to cygwin becoming non relative
URL's, or with www.cygwin.com/xfree86 and the links staying as relative URLs. I'll maintain either.
My _suggestion_ is to use www.cygwin.com/xfree86 and relative URL's because if people start mirroring cygwin, the xfree86 pages will
get mirrored as well.
Then xfree86.cygwin.com becomes a 301 redirect to www.cygwin.com/xfree86 (with Chris's cooperation of course :])
