( FYI... I got this after I clicked on a topic here...don't know if its important or not)


Secure Connection Failed




www.thelinuxlink.net uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.

(Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)




* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

You get those when the certificate is not generated by a "trusted" certificate creator. Meaning an agency or company that doesn't want to drop the coin to go through someone like Verisign.

That is true. I am not dumping bucks to get an officially signed certificate and yes, I rolled it myself; it's legit.
