Future upgrades

All hands-- Our list server will be down for as long as a day on the weekend. All mail will be spooled and forwarded later, so nothing will be lost, just delayed. For you techies, below is how the server man explains it. --Listmeister Georgs Future upgrades ============== The main server, home.samurai.com, will be upgraded over the weekend to a PentiumPro 180Mhz machine, assuming UPS gets it to me tomorrow (er, today). This machine is currently a Pentium 133Mhz box, so the speed increase will be significant. I may also at that time change operating systems, because there's a nasty incompatability between FreeBSD and my DAT tape drive, but that I still haven't decided on that one. If I do change it'll be to either Linux or NetBSD. All of this won't affect any of you, of course, except that if I change operating systems the downtime will be extended. I'm estimating it'll take the better part of a day even if I just go with the straight swap of parts, but all e-mail will be spooled and processed once the machine's back up again.
