Some of you may have noticed that mail from the FreeBSD lists was a little thin today, this being because the Quantum Empire 2100 disk that served as its drive 0 (from the very beginning days of the project!) finally decided that enough was enough and checked out for good. Funeral services will be held later on this week. This means that our upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.2-stable went just a wee bit earlier than planned and with considerably more abruptness than we would have liked, but that's life. A tape drive is now being purchased for more full-time backup duties, in the fond tradition of locking the barn door after the horse has escaped, been run down by a truck and eaten by scavengers. :-) Anyway, the mailing list data was on freefall so we escaped with less damage than we might have, but it'll take another couple of days to get everything else working again and this message is just FYI. Jordan This is the moderated mailing list announce. The list contains announcements of new FreeBSD capabilities, important events and project milestones.
