2.6.12 :)

Really, I did do a 2.6.19. I guess I never released it. I just booted it now and it is indeed a 2.6.19.

Here's one possibility for /etc/hosts:
Code Sample

# block google analytics
127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com


Although I haven't noticed as much of a slow down effect due to google-analytics as I used to, so this is not as important unless one objects to one's visit to a website being logged by google.

There was a time on one connection I had when google-analytics was simply _strangling_ the web.  Seems to have improved a lot.

Any other faves for /etc/hosts blocking?
