Actually, I think the Ruby faq’s been down for a few weeks now:  
[http://www.rubygarden.org/faq](http://www.rubygarden.org/faq) (btw, the Ruby homepage lists that link as  
[http://www.rubygarden.org/iowa/faqtotum](http://www.rubygarden.org/iowa/faqtotum) ).

( I realize that the mailing list itself (err, I mean, the c.l.r  
newsgroup) has its own faq at: [http://rubyhacker.com/clrFAQ.html](http://rubyhacker.com/clrFAQ.html) )

Yikes. A case of double-aliasing in httpd.conf… It should be OK  
now.

Thanks.
