Oh joy... another HostGator spam/malware site.

First thought on the issue would be that we could check for redirects
from it .. that we can send to a page explaining that they have come
from a possibly malware site that has no connection with Fedora or Red
Hat. As such they should beware of anything they downloaded from the
site (even if they are running Linux).
