I can.  If the problem that has you contacting tthe DNS owner is that the MX
records are hosed, then @svlug.org mail wouldn't be working to spec.  

However it's a good address for other purposes.

It occurs to me that with three machines we need three cheesy names. 
I vote pepperjack for the other one.

I am familiar with cvs, svn, tla aka Gnu arch, and Hg aka mercurial, with my
brains being most soaked in svn.  svn also has the advantage of extremely
similar commandline to CVS.

I have no knowledge of git.

I would, in theory, say I don't care which source control, but in practice, 
I care that it's easy ennough we aren't constantly digging out our cheat
cards at the sysadmin side of the game.  In theory practice and theory are
the same but in practice they're different :)
