Domain name stuff?

[Jason Yeoman]

homelinux.org is owned by DynDns.  You chose the domain name  when you
signed up for their service.  DynDns domain names will expire after 30 days
if there is no activity.  If you install a dyndns client it will update with
DynDns every x hours or x days to keep your name active.  There is no
charge.  I have a .homelinux.org account and a client that updates DynDns to
let them know I'm still using it and have had no problems.

They simply want to make sure the name is being used or it will release it
for someone else to use.  I suggest logging into their website and choose
the name again.  I'm sure georutkay is still available.
