Forgive my newbie ignorance, but what is a Jambalaya box???

We're all there at some time, neh?  Anyway, I referred to the newsgroup:

lugnet.market.jambalaya

You can read up on it simply by subscribing to that newsgroup -- the very
first message is the newsgroup charter, a message which gives a good
description about the newsgroup.  Alternatively, you can look at it (and its
FAQ and charter) via the Web interface:

http://www.lugnet.com/market/jambalaya/

To find the Web interface for any LUGNET newsgroup, take its name, chop off
the leading text "lugnet.", and convert the "."'s to "/"'s.  Prefix it with
"http://www.lugnet.com/" and make sure it ends with a "/", and you've got a
URL to the Web interface for that newsgroup.

Some more examples:

Newsgroup name:    lugnet.admin.general
Web interface URL: http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/

Newsgroup name:    lugnet.build
Web interface URL: http://www.lugnet.com/build/

Newsgroup name:    lugnet.loc.us.ut
Web interface URL: http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ut/

Happy LUGNETting!

Cheers,
