What about the TM issue in this one? otherwise its a nice typo...
I have received a lot of questions regarding potential trademark issues on llinux.com. Here are the facts regarding .com's with 'linux' in the name, which you can verify for yourself, as I did, before I bought the name.
1. There are 195 registered trademarks using the word 'linux.' 19 are live and 176 are dead. One of the live ones, and five of the dead ones have one or two characters directly in front of the word 'linux.'
2. Every possible 6 character .com ending with 'linux' and starting with A-Z or 0-9 has been registered. The same is true for every combination starting with 'linux.'
3. Looking back at the history of llinux.com, it looks like it was first registered in 2001, and it appears to have been parked since then.
It dropped recently and I bought it, after doing the research I've listed above, which satisfied me regarding trademark issues. You can do the same research, and decide for yourself.
I just acquired the name, so I don't have traffic stats yet.
If you have any more questions, please post or PM. Thanks.
