       Yes. So far we have appreciated the donation of some fine

       financial support. Thank you very much for your continued
       support and generosity.

              received requests or questions over the past few months.)
	      The most important page to be translated is the FAQ. 

       Members of our group are also personally interested in talking
       to network and system administrators about issues of reliability,
       availability, MTBF and MTTR of servers. If you would be able to
       provide data on your server's uptime to us, please let us know
       at the following address: uptime-survey at granitecanyon.com. This
       information will be kept in strict confidence.
