Hi everyone,

Leah from Libreboot would like would like to know about using an
.htaccess file for implementing a redirect on the project's webpage (see
attached message), but she isn't sure about the capability to do
that.  I don't know the answer myself.  Is what she wants to do possible
or are HTML redirects the preferred approach?

Thanks,
Brandon
