All are available, though I'm not sure about the lad one. Makes it 
sound more Linux specific than it really is.

Which one? Other ideas?

Looked closer at it, and it turns out that it's one of those 
<whatever>.<something>.com/net/org/... things; more specifically 
<whatever>.xap.org. So, it seems like it's stuffed with third level 
domains. :-/

Unfortunately, these domains are available to Ameridat clients only, 
so it doesn't look like we could get lad.xap.org or something either. 
Could ask, though. (But considering they've registered the domain 
with contact email addresses like "not at available.org", one would 
think they'd really rather not even be contacted...)
