Has anyone else had trouble lately getting on the website? More than a few times over this week I have had a screen coming up for a Redhat Linux Test Screen. It is from something like Apache. Any thoughts?

Eagle may have it.
If (adjusting your cookie setting or changing your security setting) doesn't correct the issue let one of us Mods know and well see what Kevin can do.
Kevin had to take some actions to cut into the SPAM problem and he may have to personally take an action to resolve your issue....
Just let us know.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and have a solution, but first an explanation. The site has been receiving an ever escalating barrage of spam comments and spam emails through the contact forms.
When that happens, the spammer's IP address is reported to me and I block them from the site. There has been so much of this happening that I am spending about 8-hours a week just banning IP addresses of spammers.
I occasionally get so pissed about this that I block an entire IP range which sometimes snags some innocent bystanders, such as yourself.
Next time you see the Redhat Linux page, go to the following url and it will tell you your IP address.

Then, email that info to me and I will make sure it gets unblocked.
