<self-defensively> Homelinux.org is owned by dyndns.org, and the company gives out domain names like timesucker.homelinux.org to anyone who applies. In other words, dyndns.org is in business to provide dsl and cable subscribers with routable domains that are automagically updated on the rare occasions when the cable/dsl companies renumber their IP subnets. Each domain under homelinux.org is a separate individual/company/whatever, so please keep that in mind when deciding on the reputation of "homelinux.org": you might as well ask the reputation of "com" or "net".
