That site would be http://www.exocore.com/linux - which is a list of FAQs (esp
for topics covered in the PC Quest linux articles, and frequently asked on the
LI-* lists)

> also why is linux-india.com pointing to exocore.com ?
 
linux-india.org points to the linux-india.org site but yeah, linux-india.com
does point to exocore's site www.exocore.com ....

However,

$ whois -h whois.geektools.com linux-india.com
