Linare Corp sent us in the Pro version of their Linare Linux flavor. We are taking a quick look at the product, at it's advantages and occasional... missteps.

I talked with the administrative contact of linux.net on the phone, and this is what I have understood is the situation:
MicroWalt Corporation registered the domain (in 1993 or something).
Aureex Corporation bought(?) the right to use the domain from MicroWalt Corp.
Linare Corporation pays(?) Aureex Corp. to run the domain and (perhaps) the services on it.
There is probably some kind of unagreement between Aureex and Linare that is the reason for this.
It's not because there is problems between Aureex and Linare (or whoever it is); it's the fact that this happened overnight with no prior notice that makes me mad.
I have contact with friends, family, business relations, newsletters, uncompleted orders, memberships etc. connected to this e-mail. Now they just get an error that the mailbox doesnt exist anymore. I know that I allready lost a couple of jobs because of this (I am a business owner) valued at approx $1,500. As I said in my first post I have telephoned and e-mailed them several times; with no reply.
The only thing I know about this from Linare is from their frontpage:
"Important Notice: Existing Linux.net email users
Your linux.net email ids have been changed from "@linux.net" to "@linuxtimes.net"."
Nothing more.
