Hi,
one of our readers made a nice audit of LDP website. Thanks, Ralph!
Are there any volunteers to sort it out?

Broken in/anomalies within the Linux Documentation Project site (tldp.org)
Mirror-list:
• The table for the United States of America is not displayed
properly, the line for the link to
a mirror in MN (Minnesota) is displayed as separate text instead of as
an integral part of the
US table of mirrors. Of these links the following can be said:
1. The AZ link generates a server not found error
2. The CA links http://www.linux.ucla.edu/LDP/ and
http://www.quadrunner.com/ LDP/ generate 404 errors, and the CA link
http://www.bitpusher.com/mirrors/LDP a page not found error

long to respond

As far as I can see the links to the actual documentation in the
middle of the page (the white part of the
screen/page) look okay. I've basically gone down the links there for
two levels and all seems to be in
order (Wiki, Howto's, FAQs, man pages, Linux Gazette, including the
mini-links in the explanation of
all these items, plus recently updated).
The two links at the right of the page (Links and OMF) are also intact
and lead to relevant information.
