AFAIK, Dreamhost imposes no limits for website content... BUT, there's
a clause in their "unlimited policy" that worries me (see *** below):

This can be seen here: http://www.dreamhost.com/unlimited.html

This would indicate that our use of haiku-files.org for distributing
vmware images and optional packages may possibly violate the
"unlimited policy"... we can either choose to ask them up front for
permission, or wait for them to complain and ask for forgiveness
later... I don't care either way, but I felt it was worth mentioning
:)
